Description

In 2008, Simon Fitzmaurice used to be diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (often referred to as ALS). 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 to be able to stay alive. Here, 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—within the vein of such memoirs as Jean-Dominique Bauby’s The Diving Bell and the Butterfly—the result is an astonishing journey into a life which, regardless that brutally compromised, is lived more fully and within the moment than such a lot, revealing at its core the facility of love its such a lot potent. Written the use 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 long run, about what it means to be alive.
