Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Knowing about Tourette syndrome did not prepare me for what I found in Echolalia. The outward signs of Tourette are hard to miss, but the internal symptoms, the continual mental disquiet, are unguessable. I've watched as Adam Seligman's spirit had bested Tourette and now, I marvel as his talent inspires and educates. Echolalia is a disturbing, heartening and not to be misses experience.
Edward Asner, Actor
This debut novel, by Adam Ward Seligman, provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Tourette syndrome and its impact on the creative process. The slant on the subject is fresh, the writing style engaging, and the insights rare and disturbing.
