( ) I could not finish this book and I had to literally throw it across the room, it made me so mad. I hate when "self-indulgent" is used to describe art of any sort because I want people to create their art for themselves first, not who the audience might be. That said, this was the most pointless, self-indulgent piece of poo I have ever attempted to read. Maybe the end had some huge revelation, but I physically couldn't make myself finish. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"During my years as a patient, I felt a guilty and unshakeable conviction that I was completely sane. Of course, my notion that patients were expected to be crazy was naïve, but I had swallowed whole the ideology that connects madness to beauty of spirit. In fact, I wasn't interested in being happier, but in growing more poignantly, meaningfully unhappy."Here in her own words is Emily Fox Gordon, therapy veteran, sometime mental patient, and prize-winning essayist. In lyric prose as memorable for its wicked humor as for its penetrating intelligence, she tells the story of her "therapeutic education," marked by no fewer than five therapists before she turned seventeen. At eighteen, after a half-hearted suicide attempt, Gordon began a three-year sojourn at the prestigious Austen Riggs sanitarium. It was at Riggs that Gordon was "rescued" by the maverick psychoanalyst Leslie Farber, who offered judgment instead of neutrality, friendship instead of silence, and moral instruction through dialogue. Beautifully crafted and startling in its observations of the therapeutic enterprise, Mockingbird Years is a stunning debut by a major new talent. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
