A searingly honest picture of what it’s like to be quadriplegic. In Still
Me, actor Christopher Reeve balances the richness of his family life against the
grinding monotony of maintaining his body until technology might let him walk
again. Perhaps his finest performance. Published by Century/Random House,
£16.99/$25, ISBN 0712678646/0679452354. Also available as a talking
book from HarperCollins, £8.99/$18.95, ISBN 0001055380.
