Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Echolalia is the story of best selling writer Jackson Evans, who is diagnosed as having Tourette syndrome, a complex genetic disorder characterized by tics, vocal noises Including obscenities), and obsessive-compulsive behavior. At first he is grateful for the answers it bring him, but Jackson soon realizes that the real problems are just beginning. The story is told in a style that captures the rhythms that soothe the Tourette. It ends with the ultimate truth - the answer isn't in being diagnosed, the answer is in living.

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.

Sue Grafton, Author of "H" is for Homicide
