I met Lady Cranefly circa 1987 up in Eugene OR. I'd moved there to do some writing and met her in a writer's workshop I joined.
Lady Cranefly was working at the University of Oregon bookstore at that time.
A year later, we decided to move down into the Bay Area (for me, it was a return; for Lady Cranefly, all new).
The rest is notoriety.
Anyway, before Lady Cranefly quit her job, she suggested we buy some books through her employee discount. So that's what we did. I think we got about ten books, most of them science or technology related, rather than fiction.
One of those books was The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, by Oliver Sachs.
I started the book, loved it, but am ashamed to say I somehow got waylaid by other things and never finished it. I really need to finish it soon, because Lady Cranefly is starting to grow a brim.
In all seriousness, thanks for all your research and insights, O.S. I promise to do some catching up.
