Summary

Discover the fascinating work of Caryll Houselander, a lay Catholic artist, mystic, religious writer, and poet in this thought-provoking book. Exploring the concept of guilt in the context of man's relationship with Christ, she reveals how breakdowns in this relationship manifest as psychological disfunction, and argues that only through suffering can we achieve sanity and become whole. Houselander illustrates these arguments through a series of case studies centered around famous authors, artists, and criminals, including as Leopold and Loeb, Teresa Martin, Hans Christian Andersen, and Franz Kafka,

With her unique perspective and expertise, Houselander's examination of guilt, suffering, and mental instability is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of religion and psychology.

Superb content ruined by bizarre narration

The deeply thoughtful and insightful content of this book was impossible to follow due to the sing-song, meaningless narration. Trying to listen was like constantly translating one language into another. The intonation went up and down at random, not with the context of what was being said. The Bible references were given absurdly too. For example, it might say something like "John one point two dash three" instead of "John chapter one verses two to three". I very much wanted to listen to this book, but I have had to return it and will buy the written version instead.
