Bright Colors Falsely Seen Synaesthesia and the Search for Transcendental Knowledge

"Throughout BRIGHT COLORS FALSELY SEEN, Dann's exemplary cultural and intellectual history of synaesthesia, behaviorist science and the Romantic imaginary are seen tussling for control of the synaesthetic subject like two myopic pit-bulls sharing a crabstick....In this history, Dann eschews conventional narrative balance...the better to present the interpretation of synaesthesia as an inexorably unfolding intellectual mystery story. The gripping result demonstrates how artistic interpretations contribute over time to our supposedly objective definitions of things."Dann, Kevin is the author of 'Bright Colors Falsely Seen Synaesthesia and the Search for Transcendental Knowledge' with ISBN 9780300066197 and ISBN 0300066198.
