The Writer Who Couldn’t Read from NPR on Vimeo.
Howard Engel lost the ability to read words like you and I do because of a stroke, but that didn’t stop him from writing two books after the event…
I find this story to just be so incredibly amazing (and I imagine Lev did, too, which is why he did the video).
Talk about a dedication to the written word to strive so hard to be able to read and write.
I think the thing I love best about this whole story is the end in which Howard demonstrates that he still has a sense of humor after everything.
