The country's most famous restaurant critic--Bryan Miller of The New York Times-- is felled by devasting clinical depression in his first year on the job. Ultimately, he loses his column, his job, book projects, his career, two wives, his life savings, and his home. The suicidal torment lasted for twenty years yet no one outside of his family was aware of it. There are descriptions of electro-shock thereapy, a brain tumor, near fatal Lyme disease and other entertaining activities. This book chronicles how he coped with the disease and, ultimately, triumphed. (Below, for the moment, I am not aware of how to download the book cover art.) Ignore that 1.5 mb in the cover art; it was a mistake.
Thank you.....Bryan
(Oh yes, in 10 years as The Times' restaurant critic I dined out 5,123 times, not counting the office cafeteria. The book contains a lot of food, wine and travel--and a good deal of inside the New York Times observations.
