This book takes place on two levels. It is a remarkably clear account of what depression must feel like, it is also a first hand description of the war in Bosnia. Interesting.
He woke up one morning as a teenager, depressed, and was severely depressed till he discovered Zoloft. Then he became his dream, a foreign correspondent in Sarajevo. Written in alternating chapters about the depression and the Bosnian war - I liked the former better, but the whole thing was really good.

I first came across Falk's writing when he wrote a piece for Details magazine about two snipers of the Balkan's war. The piece was fascinating and dealt with a pair of former, childhood friends, turned snipers (a Serbian and a Bosnian) hunting each other. HBO later made a movie out of the story called Shot Through The Heart.
Falk's memoir deals with his battle of depression mental illness and is one of the better chronicles of a person's struggle with these diseases.
Falk's memoir provides more details of his war correspondence and search for relief from his illness.
Highly recommended.
