Thanks for the recommendation of 'Touched With Fire' Laurie. Brings to mind another magnificent novelist William Styron who won a Pulitzer Prize for 'The Confessions of Nat Turner' and wrote 'Sophie’s Choice'.

A Memoir of his ‘Darkness Visible’ is a record of his descent into depression and the triumph of recovery….Absolutely riveting reading, and ever so beautifully constructed by one of the modern masters of the written word.
