She knew almost nothing of the changing world she was entering, and she was tormented by panic attacks and inexplicable seizures. Her struggle against despair was fueled by a string of discouragements -- failed spirituality, doctorate and jobs, fruitless dealings with psychiatrists -- but finally, in 1976, she was diagnosed with epilepsy and given proper treatment. She then began the writing career that would become her true calling, and as she focused on the sacred texts of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, her own true inner story began to emerge. She would come to experience brief moments of transcendence through her work -- the profound fulfillment that she had not found in the long hours of prayer as a young nun.-Powerfully engaging, often heart-breaking, but lit with bursts of humor, The Spiral Staircase is an extraordinary history of self., Knopf Canada, 2004, Lit Verlag, 2010. Paperback. New. 211 pages. German language. 8.19x5.83x0.55 inches., Lit Verlag, 2010<
