Ben Watt

Ben Watt is a British musician, DJ, author and record label owner, best known as one half of the duo Everything but the Girl. His memoir and audiobook Patient is a beautifully written account of his near-fatal illness — a rare autoimmune disease that required the removal of most of his small intestine — and his slow, determined recovery. Watt's writing is precise, emotionally restrained and deeply affecting, and the audiobook is a powerful listen.
