This book includes my "Groundhog" spiritual intercourse with Melina Costello, poet, teacher, counselor, and author best known for Tutti-Frutti Town: Blinky Blueberry Finds A Friend (1991) and Seeking the God of Ecstasy: A Spiritual Journey of Sexual Awakening (2010). The latter work, a culmination of her decades devoted to the practice of meditative disciplines, is an account of her mystic encounters with Dionysus, praised by no less than Jungian analyst and best-selling author Robert A. Johnson (1921-2018). I also included the following articles: Was Emma Clueless? Her Husband Was Not Good Enough, The Difference Between Men and Women, The Idiot In Sartre's Mirror, Are We Neurotic? Hysteria and Modern Neurosis, Historical Pithiatism, The Madame Bovary Philosophy, A Therapeutic Exercise in Bovarysme, Imagination Betrayed, The Grotesque God of Reality Called Yuk, Jane Austen's Critics, The Romantic Fool's Game, Madame Me Interrupts With A Review, On Constructive Criticism, Jane Austen Describes Emma Woodhouse, Whatever Happened to Emma Woodhouse? C'est Moi, Ungodly Reason and Adultery, Mental Masturbation, Pythiatism & Why We Write, Imagining Nothing or Being with The Family Idiot, From Bad Novels to Forbidden Love, Gustave Flaubert and George Sand, A Note To Myself About Writing Novels, The Beginning Of Wisdom In Nothing, Liberty Fried Absurdities Instead of French Fries, On Pythiatism, The Hysterical Woman, On Cultural Negritude, Social Hygiene and Women's Liberation, Unhappiness Is Normal, Freudian Pythiatism, Will and Resistance Make the Man, Positive Pithiatism, Instinctive Imbecility, The Literary Taste of Shit & Count Dracula
