  1. Review: 'A Tale for the Time Being' by Ruth Ozeki

    Ruth Ozeki's third novel, "A Tale for the Time Being," begins with writerly disappointment. Well, it also begins with a teenage girl in a fetish café texting her great-grandmother, a feminist-anarchist Buddhist nun who purports to be 104 years old. Maybe I'm burying the lead. But frustrated expression, while dull in comparison, is the backbone of Ozeki's novel.

  3. Mental illness and guns: the issue is suicide

    Some years ago, I was called by one of my patients who had just suffered severe rejection in a love relationship. She told me that she was on her way to buy a gun but thought she might call me first. I suggested that she come see me before she purchased a gun so we could talk it over.

  4. Local teen beats suicidal thoughts with controversial treatment

    It's a nation-wide problem affecting local families.  A shortage of psychiatrists means adults, teens and kids who desperately need help aren't getting it.  The reason for the shortage?  Med students are choosing other specialties.  Our Fact Finder team dug deeper into a new kind of care local psychiatric centers are using to try and bridge the gap.

  12. Review: 'Tenth of December' by George Saunders

    If I told you that George Saunders' new collection of stories is full of talking snack cakes, you would probably be like, "Oh, good, no one captures the morally ambiguous inflection of the talking snack cake like George Saunders." In "Pastoralia" (2000) and "In Persuasion Nation" (2006), Saunders reconceived the short story as a souped-up electric sheep, channeling the advertising slogans and self-help jargon that define our sensory-overloaded mediascape: reality as the most unreal reality show of all. The thesis was anything but new, but it's rarely been as hilariously driven home. "Jon," from "In Persuasion Nation," shows Saunders in full-on Baudrillardian-bobble mode:
