| Have
you ever heard of the condition known as synesthesia? It is a condition
that causes people to associate words with colors. I had never heard
of this before but during the past couple of years, there have been several
books published in which the main character has synesthesia. In Mondays
Are Red, Luke wakes up from a coma caused by meningitis only to find that
he has developed synesthesia. He begins to associate words and objects
through taste, sight, smell, touch and sound. At first, he embraces
the new experiences and writes about them in his poetry. But then
he comes face to face with his inner demon and believes he must fight to
save his sister. |
