I was thinking about the former half-term governor of Alaska and for some reason the concept of narcissism came to mind. You can look it up! Then I ran across Terry Castle's great essay on the long dead actress Sarah Berhnhardt.
Any discussion about "Hysterical Exhibitionism" and "Narcissistic Wish-Fulfillment" and "Sartorial Perversions" can't help but remind one of our Divine Sarah. Alas, the essay is behind their pay wall, that is, it's for subscribers only. However, you can read her great post about Georgia O'Keefe for free. Since it's also about her mom, it might make good reading for holiday travels.
