Allen Shawn's Wish I Could Be There: Notes From a Phobic Life is a straight-on and personally revealing look at phobias, how they come to be, and how they can be approached and faced down (sometimes). Shawn's descriptions of his own many disabling phobias made me, personally, feel better about my own (only) two phobias, airplanes (common) and vomit (uncommon, as far as I can tell). I'm not afraid of snakes, spiders, bridges, etc., other common phobias. This book goes a long way towards explaining how our phobias arise and shows us how nearly universal they are.
For New Yorker Magazine readers, the book also provides a fascinating autobiographical look at Shawn's family including his father, the long-time New Yorker editor William Shawn, his famous brother Wallace Shawn, the actor, playwright and moviemaker, and their mother.
