nothing to see here,
By
This review is from: Nothing to See Here (Paperback)
This just published book by Dr. David Post, practicing Clinical Psychologist, and gifted classical composer is absolutely terrific. It describes the journey of a clever, smug, self-satisfied,rational middle class man into the landscape of the Id. "Crime and Punishment" in a modern Boston suburb. Plot, place, prose, and plausibility are all here. A thoughtful exposition of the fine line between the rational "everyman", and madness.If only Claude Chabrol would option this book and make the movie.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Murder, He Says,
By
This review is from: Nothing to See Here (Paperback)
Based on an actual event which sparked the idea for this novel, which traces the deterioration of a respected Boston psychiatrist, it tracks his virtual loss of sanity driving him to commit a ghastly act. It begins with his wife of more than a decade leaving home, abandoning Dr. Alan Sarnower and their 10-year-old son. About two months later, he returns home to find her nude in bed with a hippie. The doctor throws the man's clothes out the window; the man then runs out into the yard nude and flees.Shortly thereafter, the wife files for divorce, seeking custody of the boy, support, and possession of the home. Thus begins the debilitating course of events as the doctor tries to salvage his life and keep custody of the boy. Worn down by the court, his wife's demands, and the system, Sarnower slowly begins to lose it. He begins to neglect relationships, his practice and various other responsibilities. The novel is taut, especially for a debut work. The author, a clinical psychologist, has command of the subject, and provides substantial insights into the doctor's mind (and reactions) A good read, and a gripping tale.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Nothing to See Here is reason to take a Good Look,
By
This review is from: Nothing to See Here (Paperback)
Alan Sarnower,a self absorbed psychologist living in an affluent suburb of Boston is married to his drug addicted manic depressed wife named Cassie. They have a 10 year old son Mitch who is left with Sarnower when Cassie decides to leave them asking Alan for a divorce. From this point things start to go wildly out of control in Dr. Sarnowers world. Between fighting expensive custody issues in the effort to keep his son along with maintaining his patients in his practice, life begins to pose a major struggle for him. Sarnower's existence becomes further complicated with his new outside relationships he has made with other women since Cassie has left often leaving the good doctor with not knowing what is real or unreal.David Post has written a novel that totally grabs your attention and keeps you interested. Once you start it you simply cannot put it down. His experience as a clinical psychologist makes his story telling fascinating. Also within the book he makes several references to classical music compositions which serves so brilliantly to intensify the novel. David Post is able to weave a story filled with the richness, suspense and drama much like that of a powerful Mahler symphony. Bravo! Nancy Loftus Keast Boston, Mass
