Vlinders in een duikerpak

Bauby dictated this book letter by letter after his stroke, which gives it such a distinctive rhythm. I wonder what led to this method and how it shaped the storytelling.

His vivid descriptions of his mental landscape despite physical paralysis made me reflect on the resilience of the human mind. How did others connect with the author's inner world?

Given the intense personal nature, I’m curious about the process behind the scenes—was it entirely his words, or did others help craft the final narrative?
