Description
“All encompassing, brave, and deeply humane. . . . It is open-minded,critically informed, and
poetic at the same time, and despite the nature of its subject it is written with far too much élan
and elegance ever to become depressing itself.―, Richard Bernstein, The New York
Times“The Noonday Demon is the ideal and definitive book on depression. There is nothing
falsely consoling about this account, which is the opposite of a bromide, unless to be accompanied
by so much intelligence and understanding is a consolation in itself.―, Edmund White, author of A
Boyâ€s Own Story and The Flaneur“An exhaustively researched, provocative, and often
deeply moving survey of depression. . . . original and vividly recounted, Solomon writes
engagingly; his style is intimate and anecdotal. . . witty and persuasive. Overall. . . The Noonday
Demon is a considerable accomplishment. It is likely to provoke discussion and controversy, and
its generous assortment of voices, from the pathological to the philosophical, makes for rich,
variegated reading.―, Joyce Carol Oates, The New York Times Book Review“The book for a
generation. . . . Solomon interweaves a personal narrative with scientific, philosophical, historical,
political, and cultural insights. . . . The result is an elegantly written, meticulously researched book
that is empathetic and enlightening, scholarly and useful. . . . Solomon apologizes that ‘no book
can span the reach of human suffering.†This one comes close.―, Christine Whitehouse,
Time“Both heartrending and fascinating . . . the book has a scope and passionate intelligence
that give it intrigue as well as heft.―, Gail Caldwell, The Boston Globe“The Noonday Demon
explores the subterranean realms of an illness which is on the point of becoming endemic, and
which more than anything else mirrors the present state of our civilization and its profound
discontents. As wide-ranging as it is incisive,this astonishing work is a testimony both to the muted
suffering of millions and to the great courage it must have taken the author to set his mind against
it.―, W. G. Sebald, author of The Emigrants“Itâ€s a compendium, itâ€s a think piece;
itâ€s both! . . . Remarkable . .. [Solomon] has a killer eye for detail, as well as curiosity and
compassion.―, Emily Nussbaum, The Village Voice“A wrenchingly candid, fascinating, and
exhaustive tour of one of the darker chambers of the human heart.―, Daniel Goleman, author of
Emotional Intelligence“Everyone will find a piece of himself in Solomonâ€s account, even if
he has been spared the experience of watching that kernel blossom into a monstrous and
strangling plant. . . . Solomon shows bravery and rigor.―, Christopher Caldwell, Slate
magazine“Exhaustive and eloquent.―, Maria Russo, Salon.com Read more Andrew Solomon
