Paperback. Zustand: Good. John Bentley Mays left the American South because, like many members of his generation, he believed a larger, more interesting life awaited him beyond his ancestral land . . . Decades later the death of Mays's aunt Vandalia summoned him back to Louisiana. He began to explore the secrets of Vandalia's house and his own past, and experienced a reawakening of feelings about his heritage--and the stereotypes and contradictions that exist in today's South. Moving through the Virginia tidewater forests, colonial plantations, and rural towns in South Carolina, Mississippi, and Louisiana where Mays's antebellum relatives lived throughout 400 years of American history, Power in the Blood is a poignant memoir composed during the course of one man's quest for truth.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveranderung. In this courageous memoir, John Bentley Mays offers a gripping account of living with debilitating depression. Through intimate recollections and diary excerpts spanning thirty years, he reveals the struggle that leads to breakdown and the uneasy truce found in psychotherapy. Mays provides thought-provoking commentary on the allure of cure, societal norms, and the distorting nature of clinical language. This literary tour de force, which originated from an award-winning essay, is not a detached analysis but rather an evocative portrayal of the malignancy of depression and the fleeting moments of relief. He conveys that while the black dogs of depression cannot be entirely evaded, humor and the love of family and friends can help keep them at bay. Mays reflects on the uncertainty faced by those who suffer, expressing the fear of not completing his work before the darkness returns. This memoir stands apart from others on the subject, as it captures pain from a deeply personal perspective--a testament transcribed from the writer's own struggles, created in a moment of clarity amid the ever-looming presence of despair. …
