Why is it that some writers struggle for months to come up with the
perfect sentence or phrase while others, hunched over a keyboard
deep into the night, seem unable to stop writing? In The Midnight
Disease, neurologist Alice W. Flaherty explores the mysteries of
literary creativity: the drive to write, what sparks it, and what
extinguishes it. She draws on intriguing examples from medical case
studies and from the lives of writers, from Franz Kafka to Anne
Lamott, from Sylvia Plath to Stephen King. Flaherty, who herself
has grappled with episodes of compulsive writing and block, also
offers a compelling personal account of her own experiences with
these conditions.
