Well, it had to come - a Brian Inglis book which actually contains useful insights. In this case into the 'crash' of inspiration which comes to creative writers and artists. Clearly, Inglis leans towards a supernatural style of explanation, which is aided by viewing inspirational 'highs' through rose-coloured spectacles, with no reference to the savage depressions which accompany them, Thus Inglis does not tell us that Winston Churchill's 'unknown guest' which protected him from danger in high moods, at other times urged him to throw himself under trains!
