Description
“A fiercely eloquent testament to making essentially the most out of each and every moment we’re given.”
—People, Book of the Week
A luminous memoir within the tradition of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly and a #1 bestseller upon its initial release in Ireland, a young filmmaker gives us “a story of courage, of heart, of coming back for more, of love and struggle and the power of both” (Joseph O’Connor).
In 2008, Simon Fitzmaurice used to be diagnosed with ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease. He used to be given four years to live. In 2010, in a state of lung-function collapse, Simon knew with crystal clarity that now used to be not his time to die. Against all prevailing medical opinion, he chose to ventilate with a purpose to stay alive.
In It’s Not Yet Dark, the young filmmaker, a husband and father of five small children, draws us deeply into his inner world. Told in simply expressed and beautifully stark prose, it’s an astonishing journey into a life that, even though brutally compromised, is lived more fully than most, revealing at its core the potent power love has to carry us through the days.
Written the usage of an eye-gaze computer, It’s Not Yet Dark is an unforgettable book about relationships and circle of relatives, about what connects and separates us as people, and, in the end, about what it means to be alive.
