Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Forty-one years of living with bipolar disorder, told from the insideDeborah Francis describes manic depression as riding a horse without reins. In Discomfort in the Manic Mind she maps the three realms she has moved between since her first psychotic break at twenty four: the baseline where things are copacetic, the phoenix stage where sleep slips away and everything starts to feel connected, and the hard climb back up out of depression, where the damage done during mania still has to be repaired.The story begins in a loud Catholic household of ten, with a father she adored and feared, a grandmother whose stories later explained the genetics, and a childhood trauma she would not name aloud for decades. From there it follows her through hospital wards and day programs, twenty two psychotropic medications, career moves and relapses, the loss of parents and a sibling, a confrontation she never expected to survive, and the advocacy work that gave her a voice. Journal entries written in the middle of episodes sit alongside her present-day reflection, so the reader hears both the unsteady mind and the steadier one looking back.Francis is clear that she is no clinician; she is the expert in her own experience. She writes plainly about medication side effects, insurance barriers, hospital rights violations, and the particular loneliness of a diagnosis people cannot see. She writes just as plainly about recovery.For anyone living with a mood disorder, loving someone who does, or working alongside them, this is a candid account offered in the spirit of its simplest line: relief is knowing you are not the only one.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. Occasional pencil notes, else a bright, clean copy. The study of closure has played a significant part in contemporary literary criticism and is implicated in many of its concerns, from psychological aspects of the search for an end in narrative to the order imposed upon a text by politics or culture. This collection is the first large- scale attempt to assess the implications of closure for the study of classical literature. Twelve new essays by an international group of scholars focus on endings in Greek and Latin literature and demonstrate the different sorts of questions these endings pose: What narrative strategies did Hellenistic novelists employ? What is the political subtext of Ovid's half-finished roman calendar? What cultural work is performed by the portrayal of a warrior's heroic end in the Iliad? Embracing a wide range of ancient authors and genres, the collection begins by closely examining critical approaches to closure, and ends with a comparative discussion of ancient and modern narrative. The extensive bibliography includes a survey of work in different fields that further illustrates the variety of approaches to closure. Each of the editors has contributed an essay to this volume. Additional contributors include Sheila Murnaghan, Ian Rutherford, Carolyn Dewald, Peta Fowler, Philip Hardie, W. R. Johnson, Alessandro Barchiesi, Massimo Fusillo, and Christopher Pelling.…
