Editorial Reviews

Taking Goya, Kafka, Trollope, Kant and others as examples, the author links the capacity to be alone with self-discovery and becoming aware of one's deepest needs and feelings. ``Storr's celebration of creative solitude is a counterbalance to the chorus of self-help books extolling interpersonal relationships,'' wrote PW .
