A revolutionary and utterly original book revealing why we should doubt experts - and question ourselves

Joe is ten and mentally disabled. He's funny, fascinating and maddening. This title tells his moving story, and also argues that until we know Joe's life, we can't understand our own. It explains how we are mind-readers, how we make sense of other people and how we understand guilt, and shows that Joe sets our humanity in sharp relief.
