Twitch and Shout A Touretter's Tale

"With candor and humor, Handler describes the people and places he saw, touched, loved, and hated as he set out to discover himself, armed with a camera, a keen sense of the real, and the Tourette's Syndrome."-SciTech Book News

"The first memoir by someone with Tourette's syndrome . . . It is a mind-bending account of a mind-boggling affliction."-Entertainment Weekly

"A most engaging account of a rich and creative life."-Oliver Sacks, M.D.

"Driven along through the pages fascinated by the characters, the symptoms, the kinds of behavior and above all by the compassion this man has for both his work and his fellow Touretters. The strength of this account is in the very personal story it tells."-Metapsychology

"Handler gives a clear account of Tourette's all right, but that is the least of what is impressive about Twitch and Shout. The book is herky-jerky like the illness, zippy and zestful and interspersed with moments of despair. Handler is a voyeur and an experience junkie and an optimist. He is good company."-Peter D. Kramer, author of Listening to Prozac
