A boy of numbers and a man of letters

1979. This is the story of a little boy, born autistic, in a working-class suburb of London, whose first language was numbers. How to forge onself when one lives on the outskirts of words, social rules and the expectations of others? The writer Daniel Tammet recounts his remarkable journey, from the personal battle to liberate himself from the prison of autism, passing by the recitation of 22 514 decimals of Pi to international recognition as a prize-winning writer whose rich body of work has been translated around the world.
