  Wish I Could Be There by Allen Shawn: Reviews
Shawn examines his family's phobias and his own struggle with agoraphobia in an attempt to decipher the psychological and biological puzzles that have plagued him for so long.
Shawn has written a brave, eccentric and utterly compelling book that’s as revelatory and candid as anything ever written by Joan Didion, and as humane and scientifically fascinating as any one of Oliver Sacks’s case studies.
Shawn movingly details the distorting effect of phobias, the way the phobic strives simultaneously to maintain normality and avoid setting off the trip-switch in his brain.

 Amazon.com: Wish I Could Be There: Notes From a Phobic Life: Books: Allen Shawn   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Allen is twin to a mentally disabled sister and the brother of actor and playwright Wallace.
Shawn describes for us what it is to be in the throes of panic attacks); part analysis of the history of anxiety and phobia (almost scholarly in the approach and persuasion); and part biography, as it is heavily detailed in his memories of childhood.
My Shawn is at times like a novice pilot guiding a 767 with only two-thirds of the flight manual (as when he describes his own crippling phobias); at times the careful, understanding analyst with a difficult patient; at times simply the dutiful reporter given a perplexing assignment; and at times the careful historian.

 Buy.com - Arnold Schoenberg's Journey : Allen Shawn : ISBN 0674011015
Allen Shawn explores the life of Arnold Schoenberg, choosing to tell the composer's story not in an academic, chronological way but as a series of offbeat, personal linked essays that look at Schoenberg's many facets, including the uneasy blend of radical and traditionalist that infuses his works.
Even so, Shawn feels the necessity, fairly frequently, of injecting arguments that need the illustration of written music--and therefore require not only musical literacy on the part of the reader but a handy piano.
Shawn is at his best discussing the motivations for Schoenberg's exploration of atonality at the beginning of the 20th century....Schoenberg's quest for a new musical grammar culminated in his formulation of 12-tone theory, and Mr.
