Review of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007) by Josh Rosenblatt for Austin Chronicle — 02 Apr 2017
Could easily have tipped over into melodrama, but Schnabel is too much an artist to let that happen; he realizes that in order to make his hero truly substantial, and not just sympathetic, he has to present him as an ordinary man making the best of extraordinarily lousy circumstances.
By doing so he’s created a character we not only marvel at but identify with.
