About the book
In The Man of Jasmine, Z�rn's vivid descriptive powers make for an unforgettable literary as well as a psychological masterpiece. She describes with disarming lucidity her experience with thirteen years of mental health crises, culminating in her death from suicide in 1970. Z�rn's familiarity with Surrealist conceptions of the psyche, her extraordinary self-possession during horrific experiences, and her compulsion to construct anagrams to make sense of language have let her to be recognised as a great artist, 25 years after the initial publication of this account by Atlas Press.
