Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL after a seizure left him paralyzed except for his left eyelid, Jean-Dominique Bauby (1952-1997) wrote the bestselling book "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" by blinking to select each letter as an assistant recited the alphabet to him. by chumloadio

It took a while for them to realize he was cognizant behind that one blinking eyelid. Once they realized he was awake they quickly devised a way to communicate. Once communication was established I am sure s lot of different discussions came up, including the book.
