Shortly after
making What Made Mozart Tic? - A documentary based on
James’ belief that the great composer may have
suffered from Tourette’s Syndrome, James, himself a
‘Touretter’, was commissioned to write a book
about his own experiences growing up with the condition.
The result is Life
Interrupted, which was published by
Hodder/Headline in April 2006 and is available in all
main-stream bookshops as well as online.
‘McConnel’s
attitude towards (Tourette’s) is a surprising one and
a life-affirming statement on the flexibility of the human
spirit . . . ‘
(Birmingham Post)
‘A singularly brilliant
book.’ (Grove
Magazine)
