Description
xAfflicted with a rare genetic condition, Edward H. Gibson was born without the ability to feel physical pain. His body registered neither wounds nor accidents, and he was presented to the New York medical community as the first known case of total congenital analgesia. This book is a compelling study of pain, its symbolic dimension, and the discrepancies between genuine experience and its representation.
