eCareDiary will speak to Lauren Marks, author of "A Stitch of Time", about her experience with aphasia, challenges that needed to be overcome and tips for caregivers.
Lauren Marks was an actress in her late twenties when she went to Edinburgh in 2007 to direct a friend's play in the city's annual Fringe Festival. One night, they went out to a bar, and she was in the midst of a karaoke number when an aneurysm in her brain burst. When she regained consciousness, her ability to communicate with the people around her was massively impaired. A Stitch of Time is the story of her recovery from that aphasia—which was so severe at one point that she lacked a conscious interior voice. There's a lot of personal story packed into Lauren's memoir, and into this conversation. We talk about her frustration at what felt like a parent's attempt to co-opt her "story," about her then-boyfriend's attempt to essentially treat her brain injury as an opportunity to "reboot" their relationship, and about how the injury forced her to fast-track a re-evaluation of her life that had already begun. As she explains, "It's not unusual for someone twenty-seven in New York to say, 'This is not enough for me. Do I take a dramatic turn?'" "I promise you, I did not want to write a memoir. That was not something that I would have wanted—I didn't even like to read memoirs at the time. It is a weird choice to go from I'm struggling to conjugate a verb and to then think, yeah, I'll be a writer, great idea! But also, what else could I do? "I couldn't do anything entirely independently anymore. I mean, lucky for me, my physical self is okay; I didn't lose my ability to walk, I can still dress myself, things like that. But I couldn't manage an independent life. The fact was decided, I was going to be at my parents' house; I'd be with my parents, in my childhood home, for a while: decision made. I was not an actor, I couldn't memorize any more, so: decision made. I couldn't go through a textbook so: decision made, no longer Ph.D. student. "As these things were off the table, so to speak, then it was much easier to say, well, I'm a writer because I'm writing. I don't think that means I assumed this book would ever eventually come out to any kind of general audience. But writing is what made me able to write. The more I could write, the better I could write." And, as her writing improved, Lauren began to learn more about the neuroscience behind her condition, and that education makes its way into the memoir as well. And we discuss how she drew inspiration from the life stories of Helen Keller and... Casanova?
Lauren Marks was twenty-seven, singing karaoke in a bar in Scotland with her friends, when an aneurysm ruptured in her brain and left her fighting for her life. She woke up in a hospital soon after with serious deficiencies to her reading, speaking, and writing abilities, and an unfamiliar diagnosis: aphasia. This would be shocking news for anyone, but Lauren was a voracious reader, an actress, director, and dramaturg, and at the time of the event, pursuing her PhD. At any other period of her life, this diagnosis would have been a devastating blow. But she woke up...different. The way she perceived her environment and herself had profoundly changed, her entire identity seemed crafted around a language she could no longer access. She returned to her childhood home to recover, grappling with a muted inner monologue and fractured sense of self. We met Lauren under odd circumstances and she has been blowing our minds and cracking us up ever since. This is a GREAT episode.
