When Nietzsche Wept

This review has been read times

I am now almost complete with Irvin D. Yalom's book of "When Nietzsche Wept". The venue is an interesting one with basically a "what would happen if" you were to put together highly intellectual minds such as Nietzsche, Josef Breuer ( considered the one of the founding fathers of psychoanalysis), and even Freud! The book is indeed fiction, but is very carefully a "well-wrought tale" giving good insight as to perhaps the everyday thinking (and physical pain) of Professor Nietzsche. I have often found myself unable to put it down for some periods of time! Irvin Yalom, M.D. is a professor of psychiatry at Stanford University. Review by: William Lockett Send mail to reviewer
