Inspired by that piece in the NYT I bought the Allen Shawn book, Wish I Could be There. Wish I Could Not Have! Self-indulgent to the core. Any interest in his family is put aside to long chapters on brain science and more particularly His Brain. Who cares? It reminds me of that scene in Bertolucci's The Last Emperor where all the palace physicians gather around the little boy emperors' chamber pot to peer in intently. Well, Allen, I'm not peering in with them. Sorry.
