He was an intellectual giant. He certainly guided my studies and my imagination for 20+ years, and most of what I am interested in today began with a playful directive from his mind to mine. Actually I know little of his later men-oriented work. Apart from the books Andrew mentions (The Dream And The Underworld is my favorite), his book Healing Fiction is a great way to understand his debts and detours from not only Freud, but also from Adler and Jung.

His passing is a huge event for me. I really love the guy, not least for being the secret mediator of my relationship with Cally.
