This week we speak to author and psychoanalytic therapist, Nick Blackburn. In this special episode Nick shares how he his father died and how his grief and experiences brought him to write his first book, The Reactor . Nick shares insights into grief, working with those who have experienced it and how a few notes on his phone turned into a book about grief and repair.
The Reactor is a memoir about absence and creative possibilities, assembled like the pieces of a puzzle. Through philosophy, music, fashion, psychology, art and film, Blackburn travels a vast panorama of ideas and characters to offer an entirely new exploration of grief. This is a book about looking for and finding chain reactions and human connection - a work of enduring fragmentary beauty.
