Description
The Correspondence by J. D. Daniels is a series of six letters written during dark nights of the soul, exploring how far books and learning can get us and how much we're stuck in the mud. Written from the author's highly varied experience as a janitor, night watchman, adjunct professor, drunk, exterminator, and dutiful son, Daniels considers the role of psychoanalysis and literature in understanding ourselves. His writing is inventive, intimate, restless, streetwise, and erudite, taking risks with voice, tone, and form. This book introduces a brave and original observer of the inner life under pressure, sharing his experiences from different parts of the world, including Kentucky, the Balearic Islands, Brazil, and Cambridge.
