Everyone knows Icarus fell.But I love him for the fact that he dared to fly. Mania unfurls the invitation to fly too high, too near the sun...\"\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eTristimania\u003c\/i\u003e is a stark and lyrical account of the psyche in crisis. It tells the story of a devastating year-long episode of manic depression, culminating in a long solo pilgrimage across Spain. The book is rare in recording the experience of mania and shows how the condition is at once terrifying and also profoundly creative, both tricking and treating the psyche. In exploring its literary influence, Griffiths looks at Shakespeare's work, and examines the Trickster role, tracing its mercuriality through the character of Mercury. An intimate, raw journey, the book illuminates something of the universal human spirit.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJay Griffiths\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003ePip Pip: A Sideways Look at Time\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWild: An Elemental Journey\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eLove Letter from a Stray Moon\u003c\/i\u003e, a novella about the life of Frida Kahlo.
