Touched With Fire: Manic-Depressive Illness and the Artistic Temperament
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 2


This is a fascinating book that takes up a number of famous artists, musicians, poets, etc., and finds some clues to their creativity in their mental illness. I have never felt the same about bipolar disease since reading it.
