A letter. One of many written by the author. In this episode we explore the letter and the life of the author, who was an artist.
The letter reveals the depths of the artist’s struggle with psychosis and depression. But his life, discussed between breaks in the letter, illustrates what the life of someone who is truly gifted with genius or brilliance might look like. Not easy. Troubled.
Or perhaps the troubled mind or depression creates the genius or brilliance?
“La tristesse durera toujours.”
It’s an examination of a tortured mind. And this examination allows us to get a better picture of those around us who may be struggling with similar issues. When we examine this artist’s life, we see that perhaps those troubled and depressed souls among us have something within them that would be a tragedy to miss.
