When we read the full stories of people’s lives, fictional or non-, we have to put ourselves into the minds of the characters, even if those minds are damaged. Only then can we see that they want the same things, and endure the same disappointments, as the rest of us. They feel the same joys, and suffer the same bewilderment that life got away from them. Like an optical illusion, we can flip our focus. Tales about bizarre deficits become tales of resiliency and courage.
