Product Description
Review
Another biography of Carl Jung, renegade shrink. Like Freud, he has attracted an astonishing number of biographers, so what each new version must do from the outset is establish its special credentials. Why more? After all, it's always the same life. But Deirdre Bair has previously delivered impressive biographical treatments of Samuel Beckett, Simone de Beauvoir and Ana s Nin, all marked by painstaking investigation and scrupulous treatment of sources. So this aspires to be the definitive life, and it will be, until the next one comes along. But so thorough is the Bair version (640 pages), with unprecedented access to diaries and letters, that the Jung industry seems bound to slip into recession for a while, the market swamped with new product. Sure to be respectfully reviewed.
