Melville's private life The essay about Sidis was given emphasis in Amy Wallace's book The Prodigy: A biography of William James Sidis, America's Greatest Child Prodigy. Naked is the Best Disguise Published in 1974, this book relates the Sherlock Holmes stories in surprising ways to Nietzsche, Oscar Wilde, Dionysus, Christ, Catullus, John Bunyan, Robert Browning, Boccaccio, Napoleon, Racine, Frankenstein, Flaubert, George Sand, Socrates, Poe, General Charles George Gordon, Melville, Joyce's Ulysses, T. S. Eliot, and many others. Rosenberg claimed that Doyle left open clues to his most hidden thoughts. Rosenberg also describes his discovery of the Doyle Syndrome. This repetitive narrative sequence reveals to him some deep characteristics of the author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The pattern is associated with illicit love and contains such sequential story elements as: Detective goes to scene of crime, He conducts a vigil, Reference is made to written words that refer to illicit love, Reference is made to severe punishment and the deaths of many people, Arrival of violent person, Reference is made to reversal of sexes, Physical combat. As a result of this repeated pattern, Sherlock Holmes preserves Victorian morality. Rosenberg's book was be criticized for its irreverence toward the Holmes stories and for its unprofessional use of psychoanalysis with references to sexual activity.
