Résumé
For twenty years, the author battled a rare disorder that caused him agonizing episodes of broken speech, leading to the loss of his voice. Mislead by the medical profession, convinced that the problem was psychological, Fraser finally received a proper… diagnosis and found some relief with Botox, a drug mainly used to smooth out wrinkles. He then set out around the world to find others like himself, and to record in this memoir the wonders and frailties of the human voice. Some strong language. 2002.
