The Mystery of the Cleaning Lady: A Writer Looks at Creativity and Neuroscience by Sue Woolfe

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

Sue Woolfe takes us on a very personal search exploring the discoveries in neuroscience that reveal what it is that we do with our minds in making stories and what we could do to tell stories that are more adventurously and uniquely our own.

Using the cleaning-lady heroine from her lauded 2003 novel about scientists, The Secret Cure, as a catalyst, Woolfe uses a novelist’s keen intellect to sleuth her way through Western science and autobiography to produce this revelatory must-have for readers and writers as well as anyone interested in what it means to be creative.
