i just finished a good book by viktor frankl called "man's search for meaning". he has a very unique point of view being a psychologist and someone who suffered tremendously.
**not about depression per se but about Holocaust and emotional ride from beginning to end, both personally and as a psychologist.
interesting.

Hello
One of the biggest influences on me was Primo Levi, and I went on a binge and read most of his stuff a decade ago or so.
I found his thinking particularly attractive.
Same I guess with Nadezhda Mandestam.
Severe, angry and humane might describe them correctly.
Writing about the same sort of things as Frankl, whose book I have not read and would like to.

This is the end of the thread.
