About the book

"....Polio has been a journey that brought Charles Mee to places he would never have otherwise gone -- and to where he stands today. His consciousness as a man and a writer began the night he collapsed. In beautiful prose, he unravels the mysteries of his Cold War youth, voicing the mind of a child with a potentially fatal disease and of a man whose recognition of himself as a disabled outsider heightens his brilliance as a storyteller."

First sentence: It had never occurred to me that anything bad might happen to me.
