![]() ![]() There are perhaps too many coincidences to be sustained. During the invasion of Chechnya, Natasha, Sonja’s sister who later goes missing, reads the first published volume of Khassan’s Chechen history. Akhmed spins yarns to his friend’s dying wife. ![]() Marra’s characters keep themselves alive by telling and listening to stories. When the war begins he burns it and starts telling a private story for his offspring in the hope they’ll live in a future where ancient history needn’t be submerged.Īs in Jonathan Safran Foer’s “Everything is Illuminated,” Khassan, father of the informant, has spent his life writing a million-word history of Chechnya, which has lived in one form of foreign rule or other since the 15th century. Just when you think the book is through introducing people, we meet more.Įveryone is suffering a loss. “A Constellation of Vital Phenomena” bulges with side plots and characters. This story would have been enough for a novel, but Marra is not a small-book writer. Both doctors are missing someone, and they latch on to the little girl with the emotional opportunism of the grieving.

In Gildiner’s case, she certainly had not, and her book is full of self-discovery. In addition to patient stories, Gildiner also recounts instances of her own Type A behavior, which leads to the tendency “to mow others down while driving toward our own ambitions.” In one case, she took a patient, to use her apt metaphor, above the depths of the unconscious so quickly that the result was akin to “psychological bends.” The power of the therapist can breed complacency, she notes, and, combined with years of experience, the feeling that one has seen it all. A Toronto-based clinical psychologist weighs the travails of mental illness on both sufferer and healer. ![]() 5/31/2023 0 Comments Logicomix by apostolos doxiadis![]() ![]() You may also opt to downgrade to Standard Digital, a robust journalistic offering that fulfils many user’s needs. ![]() ![]() If you’d like to retain your premium access and save 20%, you can opt to pay annually at the end of the trial.
