The Storyteller's Reconstruction: A Book Review of Claudia Osborn's "Over My Head"

The Storyteller’s Reconstruction:
Over My Head, by Claudia Osborn  

 

            Claudia Osborn’s Over My Head is a riveting journey of coping, rehabilitating and learning before and after brain trauma.  The story shines a new light on the behavioral consequences of such an injury.  Through the lens of biology 202, we are able to understand that a reconstruction of the storyteller occurs in Claudia’s case.  This reconstruction leads to novel confabulations of the same stimuli that she received before her accident.
