I wonder if Mallett will have anything to say about Mr. Larger than Life Bryant.
I totally understand how being “larger than life” makes it difficult to have an even semi-ordinary life. The problem seems to be that fans just do that to you rather than (mostly) you doing it to yourself… but you still have to act as though people are watching and imitating you. Julian Jaynes (The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind) would have it that people want idols to imitate and show them how to behave. Mebbe so.
