Jung and Restless, An Interview with Micah Toub
Detail of the cover of Growing Up Jung.
We all carry lessons, warm memories, and emotional baggage from our childhood, but Toronto author Micah Toub is almost unique in having borne such a heavily footnoted and esoteric psychological cargo into adulthood. That’s because Toub’s parents are both practicing Jungian psychologists who shared their passion for the Swiss psychiatrist and visionary with their growing son from the time he could speak.
Toub has written about his formative relationship with all things Jungian in a new memoir called Growing Up Jung: Coming of Age as the Son of Two Shrinks, recently published by Doubleday Canada. He will be reading from the memoir at Type Books’ Forest Hill branch on Thursday, October 7 at 7 p.m., and he recently took time to speak to Torontoist about his book.
