The Fading Mind
Description:... The Fading Mind is a poignant exploration of Alzheimer's disease, alternating between the perspectives of Irene, a woman struggling with cognitive decline, and various animals whose instinctive behaviors reflect the limitations Irene faces. Each chapter describes Irene at a different stage of her illness, comparing Irene's journey through the actions of animals, where the unconscious and instinctive behaviors of animals reflect Irene's declining abilities, offering a unique perspective to understand the progression of Irene's cognitive decline. Nevertheless, the novel also reveals the beauty of this decline, illustrating that cognitive loss is not a failure but a transformation - a new reality shaped by instincts that challenge human expectations.
