Thank you for the copy of 'Einstein's Beach House' ! Do you think it would be appropriate for me to give it to a friend soon to be released from a psychiatric facility ?
Jacob M. Appel
I suppose there is always the risk that my stories will remind your friend what the world is like...and he might choose to remain in a psychiatric facility. Alternatively, the stories might remind him that the people on the inside and the folks on the outside aren't all too different.
Of course, I don't know your friend, so I'm probably not the best judge. To my knowledge, my collection neither cures nor causes mental illness. which is more than can be said for some of my relatives.

I am completely in awe. Your education is absolutely astounding. Your parents must be proud. Does your mind ever stop? I always wondered what drove people to seek out the type of education you have had. Parents? inner drive? possessed by einstein? Where does your inspiration come from?
