I've just started the Proust book and find it a bit "journalistic," as Roger does, but I think the effort to move into neuroscience removes it from poetry criticism in a useful way. I'm not far into the book, but I don't really think the Whitman chapter is about Whitman, and that's a good thing. It's about what Whitman's medical observations share with those of others. I'll stick with it a while longer...
