The Shaking Woman or a History of My Nerves by Siri Hustvedt
The Shaking Woman or a History of My Nerves

Jill Anderson, August 4, 2012

Author Siri Hustvedt is seized with a shaking fit that may or may not be neurological and may or may not be related to grief over her father's death. The book chronicles a kind of intellectual journey, as Hustvedt describes her readings in neurology and psychology to try to explain--or at least come to terms with-- her shaking episodes. An insightful read that, like much of Hustvedt's nonfiction, complements her novels.
