Mourning And Melancholia? 

WHere is it? 

It's around here someplace, but anyway here is something that might
interest: 


THE DETECTIVE: OEDIPUS AS A ROMANCE



     The lecture will describe the relationship between the classic
     Greek tragedy and the modern detective novel. It will
     investigate the characteristics of the detective’s character
     and it’s relationship with Oedipus; the way a detective novel
     reflects collective guilt and relates to colonialism as well as
     the personal patterns of the detective’s life.

     Batya Gur, taught literature at the Hebrew University of
     Jerusalem, lectures on script writing at Israeli Film School
     and is lector for the Institute for the Encouragement of Films
     in Israel. Her novels won the Krimi Preis in Germany and
     have been voted one of the Ten best Mysteries of the Year
     by the New York Times Book Review. In German among
     others: Denn am Sabbath sollst Du ruhn (1995), Du sollst
     nicht begehren (1999), Stein für Stein (2001)

AND

it  is not by coincidence that the key figures in the psychology of
religion--William James,  Rudolph Otto, Carl Jung, and Erik
Erikson--each fought a lifelong battle with melancholia, argues Donald
Capps in this engrossing book.
