At the risk taking this to topic to the fair altogether, I might just mention the curious coincidence, or synchronicity (any Jungians still prowling around out there ?), that the relation of mental illness to literary giftedness is being discussed currently on both the Hemingway list & (more tangentially) Austen-L. On what I hope is a constructive note, I might also record how glad I was to be reminded on one of these other lists of Professor Jamison's book `An Unquiet Mind' - which I expect many members here already know. Being herself a teacher of psychopharmacology at Johns Hopkins & also a self-declared manic depressive, she writes with marvellous balance about the limitations of both chemistry & psychotherapy in the treatment of her illness - & how each has played an essential part in helping her cope with it. Though neither has, of course, cured it. Scottie B. - who last took offence sometime around 1948. (The idea is like unto the suggestion that Mohamed Ali might get a bit touchy about remarks made by the drunks at the end of the bar.)
