In an interesting twist, it was “Still Alice” that inspired the new book.įilmmaker Richard Glatzer, who co-wrote the script and co-directed the Oscar Award-winning film version of “Still Alice” with his husband, Wash Westmoreland, was diagnosed with ALS just a couple of months before he began writing the script. In her new novel, “Every Note Played,” she tackles ALS with her trademark compassion, eloquence and unforgettable characters. Since then, she has written novels about characters with a brain injury, autism and Huntington’s disease. Her first novel, the bestselling “Still Alice,” was about a woman with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Chatham author Lisa Genova writes novels about people with neurological diseases that tend to be either ignored, feared or misunderstood in some way.
