Recenzii
Tammet's books about words and numbers are bursting with feeling and possibility ... in telling the fictionalised tales of nine real, well-known autistic people, he demolishes the autism myths that originated with medics around 90 years ago and [have since] migrated to the public imagination
Over two decades Daniel Tammet has narrated the neurodivergent experience and in his deeply researched Nine Minds he breaks new ground, turning a novelistic eye to autistic lives as compelling as any in fiction. The result is a book as beautiful as the minds it portrays
Tammet is able to live in a "thought-world of numbers", and yet he is also a writer whose qualities contradict the oft-made assumption that autism and empathy cannot coexist within the same mind. Like a novelist, he enters his characters' heads ; he reconstructs dialogue and shifts time and place ... he celebrates the gifts and talents of autistic people, while exploring the richness of their desires and dreams
Profiling nine different [neurodivergent] individuals, from the young Irish award-winning novelist Naoise Dolan to the psychologist Dr Kana Grace, Nine Minds concentrates on what these different individuals have achieved and their passions, rather than their diagnosis ... the research is clearly painstaking, and Nine Minds is eye opening in showing that those with neurodivergence have excelled far beyond the fields we usually think of
Nine Minds is a celebration of autistic talent and depth, but Tammet also writes of 'defying outdated prejudices'. It is a sad illustration of their potency that in 2024 this book should feel so fresh
It's so interesting to hear Daniel's story ... he's an undoubtable pioneer and has done so much to forward our understanding of people on the spectrum. He takes a look at some very brilliant people around the world, also on the spectrum. The award-winning writer ... is pretty famous, even Kate Bush wrote a song about him!
Beautifully rendered, painstakingly researched, and completely absorbing, Nine Minds offers something that autistic people urgently need: it humanises us
Lyrically drawn portraits, detailed and vivid in depicting the circumstances of each life. A skilled writer, Tammet adopts the perspective of his subjects, looking out at their worlds from inside, imagining their thoughts and embodying their joy, their fear, their moments of relief
Tammet, who has written nine other books, including his memoir Born on a Blue Day, skilfully gives each portrait colour and personality so they zip along, with loves, joys and challenges effortlessly woven together in an engaging but sensitive style
It is possible that because Tammet experiences the world so differently, he conveys difference so powerfully in others. Here, he has taken the lives of nine extraordinary autistic men and women and given us the kind of insight into neurodivergence that I haven't read since Oliver Sacks's An Anthropologist on Mars'
A study of remarkable people on the spectrum and their dazzling accomplishments. Written with insight, generosity, compassion and narrative energy, Tammet's exquisite portraits remind us that the variety of brains is every bit as essential as any other form of diversity that sustains the planet
[Tammet] is challenging the stereotypes of autism and it's fascinating
In Nine Minds, Daniel Tammet, an autistic savant and author of Born on a Blue Day, reports on the unique lives and cognitive differences of nine neurodivergent people. This fascinating book engages by imaginatively entering its subjects' inner worlds. Each profile is based on hours of interviews. Readers will discover a spectrum filled with valuable different kinds of minds
From a pioneering surgeon to a bestselling novelist, the nine minds explored in Tammet's revelatory study of the complexity and benefits of autism cast a life on the spectrum in an entirely new light
Tammet is a writer with the gumption and wit to extend a transformative experience of autism ... through playful [and] rhythmically impactful prose. Nine Minds gets under the skin ... by keying into difference from the perspective of interviewees who find themselves on the spectrum
Beautiful and intimate and mind-expanding. We generally presume that everyone's inner life is like our own; only rarely do we get to dive deeply into the mind of another, much less nine of them. Tammet gives us this opportunity with his characteristic eloquence, insight, and grace
Daniel Tammet's wonderful portraits of autistic people's inner lives illustrate the range of neurodivergent talents and experiences, and celebrate human cognitive diversity
Beautifully written and fascinating, Nine Minds takes us deep into the inner lives of nine extraordinary people. With eloquence and sensitivity, Daniel Tammet transcends stereotypes and shows us different facets of neurodivergence. I loved this book
There are more than nine minds in this book, there are ten: Daniel Tammet's own mind is there on every page, in the narrative flow, the wordplay and the empathy for his subjects. Nine Minds reminds us of the diversity within neurodiversity, and of the common challenges that the neurodivergent face. A fine contribution to the growing body of work by and about people who think differently.
This book is a meeting of minds, in all their vast capacity, passionate commitments, and varied flavours - a profound act of appreciation of the many unexpected gifts of neurodivergence
With the release of Born on a Blue Day, Daniel Tammet showed readers the extraordinary power of his autistic mind. Today, with Nine Minds, he explores the challenges, cognitive processes, and life goals of other neurodivergent thinkers. He reveals the exceptionality they bring to the world by finding their ways in life. There are costs for being "born different" but society's benefit from the existence of neurodivergent people is incalculable and incredibly diverse. These stories offer glimpses into parts of the human experience most people never see, yet we are all touched by neurodiversity every day, and we are better for it.
As Daniel Tammet's short sentences morph and lengthen into a kind of literary portraiture, you may find unique insights into autism and new aspects of our shared humanity.
Praise for Daniel Tammet
