| Summary: | The two thought-provoking, extended essays that make up this book draw from the author's diverse experiences and history, taking the reader on a pleasurable walk to several unexpectedly profound destinations. A steady accumulation of fascinating science, psychoanalytic theory, and cultural history - ranging as far and wide as neuro-ophthalmology, ancient dream interpretation, and the essential differences between Jung and Freud - is smoothly intermixed with vivid anecdotes, entertaining digressions, and a disarming willingness to risk everything in the course of a revealing personal narrative. |
