“You don’t know what it is to stay a whole day with your head in your hands trying to squeeze your unfortunate brain so as to find a word.” That’s how the French novelist Gustave Flaubert put it. For those with writer’s block, it can be a painful condition which demands attention and defies treatment.
Host Dr. Peter Kramer’s guests include social satirist Fran Lebowitz, a longtime victim of writer’s block and author of "Metropolitan Diaries" and "Social Studies"; Dr. Alice Flaherty, neurologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, MA, instructor at Harvard Medical School, and author of "The Midnight Disease: The Drive to Write, Writer's Block, and the Creative Brain"; Joyce Carol Oates, the unusually prolific woman of letters; novelist and commentator Annie LaMott, author of "Bird by Bird"; and singer/songwriter Aimee Mann, whose work includes the song “Calling It Quits.” Actor Stanley Tucci, reads excerpts from authors ranging from Dante to Kafka providing a window on writer’s block over the centuries.
