A rich and lovable curmudgeon

MedPage Today and the myths about mental illness in literature:

Myth: Mental illness can be treated by locking people away in isolation. Data demonstrateopens in a new tab or window that solitary confinement itself can lead to psychosis, paranoia, perceptual distortions, and anger. In "Jane Eyre," Mr. Rochester was not a romantic guy, locking his first wife in the attic -- whether or not she was mentally ill. Jane is making a big mistake falling for him even if he is a rich and lovable curmudgeon. This is not appropriate male lead behaviour, and absolutely not an effective or humane treatment for mental illness. (Susan Hatters Friedman, MD)

The Lowell Sun talks about and with the author David Daniel:

On trips to the library as a young boy, David Daniel would scan the rows of books, looking for the names of famous writers he admired.
