”Not since Sylvia Plath”s The Bell Jar has a personal account of life in a mental hospital achieved as much popularity and acclaim” TIME
”Intelligent and painful” Guardian
”Poignant, astonishing memoir” New York Times
In 1967, after a session with a psychiatrist she”d never seen before, eighteen-year-old Susanna Kaysen was put in a taxi and sent to McLean Hospital to be treated for depression. She spent most of the next two years on the ward for teenage girls in a psychiatric hospital renowned for its famous clientele – Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell, James Taylor and Ray Charles.
A clear-sighted, unflinching work that provokes questions about our definitions of sane and insane, Kaysen”s extraordinary memoir encompasses horror and razor-edged perception while providing vivid portraits of her fellow patients and their keepers.
