Starry Night

De: Orion Taraban

Narrado por: Orion Taraban

On the evening of July 27th, 1890, Vincent van Gogh, aiming for his heart, shot himself with a revolver. He missed. Today, Vincent van Gogh is considered one of history's most brilliant artists, revered by millions the world over. However, he sold only one painting in his lifetime, spent years in insane asylums, and died penniless in a garret. Haunted by his failures, riddled with addiction, and debilitated by mental illness, van Gogh eventually took his own life. What were the circumstances that led to such a fatal decision?

In this innovative first novel, psychologist Orion Taraban explores the final days of this tragic figure from the perspective of those most involved: his brother and caretaker, Theo, his friend and physician, Paul Gachet, and Vincent himself. It is a story of madness and art, loss and meaning. Like Camus's "The Stranger," it is a philosophical novel that presents a model of reality that listeners can experience directly and immediately.

Take this unique opportunity to see the world through Vincent's eyes. Once you listen to "Starry Night," you won't look at life the same way again. Orion Taraban, Psy.D., is a clinical psychologist in private practice and the creator of a popular podcast devoted to relationships and personal development. He lives in Napa, California.
