Natalie Angier science writer for the NY Times writes "As long as there have
been poets to pierce the darkness with their diamond songs, and painters to
capture blades of sun shattering on cool cathedral stone, and artists of all
persuasions to consort with the gods and articulate the union, there have
been social critics to notice that an awful lot of these creative types are
mentally unsound."
She writes on in "The Beauty of the Beastly" about visual perception,
illnesses and perception, and more great reading.
