The best spiritual chronicle of an intellectual of our times. Anthony Mlikotin's DIARY OF A TROUBLED MIND stands alone among contemporary American journals; it participates in a European philosophical tradition that until now has ended with de Tocqueville. In his youth "a rebel without a cause," he is now a solitary teacher who daily battles the stupor of bourgeois comfort and conventions. Mlikotin is an earthy mystic, intellectually and ethically uncompromisingly pure, and appealingly ironic; his unforgettable voice will not go gently into the new millenium. -- Tristine Rainer, Ph.D. Director, Center for Autobiographical Studies. Author of The New Diary and Your Life as a Story
