Everyone knows Icarus fell.But I love him for the fact that he dared to fly. Mania unfurls the invitation to fly too high  too near the sun...\"  Tristimania is a stark and lyrical account of the psyche in crisis. It tells the story of a devastating yearlong episode of manic depression  culminating in a long solo pilgrimage across Spain. The book is rare in recording the experience of mania and shows how the condition is at once terrifying and also profoundly creative  both tricking and treating the psyche. In exploring its literary influence  Griffiths looks at Shakespeares work  and examines the Trickster role  tracing its mercuriality through the character of Mercury. An intimate  raw journey  the book illuminates something of the universal human spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45275231223861,"sku":"ByrdShop_1619027267","price":63.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781619027268.jpg?v=1780503197","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/tristimania-a-diary-of-manic-depression-9781619027268","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
