Hi:
IMHO, the best SF novel about telepathy is Robert Silverberg's DYING INSIDE.
It's about a telepath who is slowly losing his ability and how this
affects his very concept of who he is. An absolutely brilliant novel of
internal landscape. Probably Silverberg's best book.

It's a book I often recomend to the lit-crit snobs who claim that SF is
never about the interior life of its characters, so is by their
definition inferior.

Hightly recomended.
