This insightful book explores the complexities of living with a brain injury through a unique interdisciplinary approach. If I Only Had a Brain offers a compelling narrative.

In If I Only Had a Brain, the author provides a profound and intimate perspective on the realities of living with a brain injury. Drawing from his personal journey as a survivor, Sherry navigates the complexities of brain trauma through a unique cross-disciplinary lens. By intertwining insights from various fields, including social and medical models of disability, feminism, queer theory, and postcolonial literature, he constructs a narrative that resonates deeply with readers.

The narrative not only highlights the challenges faced by individuals with brain injuries but also emphasizes the resilience and strength that emerge from such experiences.

He invites readers to understand the multifaceted nature of identity and disability, challenging conventional perceptions and encouraging a more inclusive dialogue.

Sherry's work is both educational and transformative, making it essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the lived experiences of those affected by brain injuries and the broader implications for society as a whole.
