Oscar and His Second Life – A Novel
The EEA is proud to launch the sale of a special novel by Dr. Elout Starreveld, Retired Epileptologist, entitled: Oscar And His Second Life.
Synopsis
A coconut struck Oscar in the head when he was two years old. Several years later Oscar was forced to create a second life. What was really underlying his daydreaming spells? His left hemisphere didn’t supply what he needed; he became a right hemisphere man. He became a gifted piano player, manipulating his audience from tears to cheers, and vice versa. Aware of his limitations, Oscar was nonetheless able to deal effectively with criminal elements. His best friend Simon, a Bouvier des Flandres, intervened effectively when necessary. Simon’s intuition was beyond human comprehension. Will Oscar be ever free of his seizures? Can Oscar look forward to a rational solution?
