I pulled this up off of Google about Schwartz. It's interesting in its own right, but also as an illustration of one of our earlier discussions about the prevalence of mental disorders in the U.S. as opposed to the rest of the world, specifically as opposed to China. _____ There's also Saul Bellow's _Humboldt's Gift_, which is loosely based on Schwartz, and may shed more light on the guy. ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
