On binden fazla tanima katkida bulunan ve calismalarin ilk yillarinda gizemini koruyan bu okur bir Amerikan Ic Savasi gazisi olan, emekli cerrah Dr. W. C. Minordi ve isledigi bir cinayet sebebiyle uzun zamandir akil hastanesinde yatmaktaydi.Sözlügün hazirliklari 1857de baslamisti ve o güne kadar girisilen en iddiali calismaydi, tamamlandiginda Ingilizcenin en kapsamli ilk sözlügü olacakti. Simon Winchesterin titiz arastirmalar sonucunda kaleme aldigi Deli ve Dahi, iste bu devrimci eserin hazirlanisina büyük katkilarda bulunan, cogu yönden bambaska ama kelimelere adanmisligiyla hayli birbirine benzer iki adamin, Dr. James Murray ile Dr. W. C. Minorin eksantrik hikayesini ve sözlükcülügün mesakkatli dünyasini gözler önüne seriyor.Deli ve Dahi, hem büyüleyici hem de dokunakli bir kitap, imkansizmis gibi görünen bir olayi, Oxford Ingilizce Sözlügüne sanrilarla bogusan, hastaneye kapatilmis bir akil hastasinin yaptigi büyük katkilari ve sözlügün editörü ile gelisen dostlugunu muhtesem bir sekilde yapi taslarina ayiriyor. -Oliver Sacks
