Extraordinarily valuable... Whether writing a disquisition on an obscure point of theology to Father Victor White or advice to an anonymous correspondent who wondered whether she should commit suicide...Jung commits himself entirely to the question and to the moment... [The] Letters are indispensable and a beautiful production. -- James Olney, The New Republic What [Jung] offers from the furnace of his mind is near enough to that Philosopher's Stone sought by his old friends the alchemists to hold us enchanted through unnumbered re-readings. -- Robertson Davies, The New York Times Book Review
