The Sickness Called Man

By Kathleen Elgin

Book Overview

Ostensibly a satirical look at psychoanalysis and its practitioners, this novel is also a serious social critique of modern man. Camon's narrator consults a series of therapists, searching for the source of his mysterious maladies. Camon draws parallels between his narrator's experiences and the experiences of Man in a morally disintegrating Italy. From his depcitions of pompous therapists to his analysis of the intersection of church and state, Camon's wit and wisdom shine. This description may be from another edition of this product.
