The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression by Andrew Solomon

6 reviews

lmjones's review against another edition

Interesting parts but not the kind of “atlas” I was looking for. Not really an atlas at all - some useful information, some old, some undoubtedly biased… and lots of his personal, very specific experience which at times resonates and at other times doesn’t. 

I gave it a good college try, felt validated at times, but eventually decided I’d rather read something else with my limited free time. 

Maybe I’ll come back to it later.
