Sickness Called Man

Ostensibly a satirical look at psychoanalysis and its practitioners, this novel is also a serious social critique of modern man.Camon's narrator consults a series of therapists, searching for the source of his mysterious maladies. Camon draws parallels between his narrator's experiences and the experiences of Man in a morally disintegrating Italy. From his depcitions of pompous therapists to his analysis of the intersection of church and state, Camon's wit and wisdom shine.
