Scattered memoir by author living with family members dealing with schizophrenia. The memoir was disjointed, as I assume was her life. Many details were illuminating. ( ) The Edge Of Every Day: Sketches of Schizophrenia by Marin Sardy due 5-21-2019 Pantheon 5.0 / 5.0 This is a fantastic memoir! Absorbing and compelling, told with amazing candor, insight and understanding, I thought this was amazing and totally enjoyed it. Marin Sardy´s struggle to understand her mother and her brothers diagnosis of schizophrenia, and her deep desire to be able to communicate with them were incredible and inspiring. Her support made a difference in their lives. The way in which she shares her experiences and interactions really give a clear and concise picture of the nature of the illness. I learned so much, and saw so many examples of how stereotyping and misconception have made this illness so elusive and hard to grasp. Thank you for sending this awesome ARC for review. #netgalley #TheEdgeOfEveryDay geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderscheidingen
Marin Sardy's memoir traces the path of the schizophrenia that runs in her family. Against the starkly beautiful backdrop of Anchorage, Alaska, where the author grew up, Marin Sardy weaves a fearless account of the shapeless thief--the schizophrenia--that kept her mother immersed in a world of private delusion and later manifested in her brother, ultimately claiming his life. Composed of exquisite, self-contained chapters that take us through three generations of this adventurous, artistic, and often haunted family, The Edge of Every Day draws in topics from neuroscience and evolution to the mythology and art rock to shape its brilliant inquiry into how the mind works. In the process, Sardy casts new light on the treatment of the mentally ill in our society. Through it all runs her blazing compassion and relentless curiosity, as her meditations takes us to the very edge of love and loss--and invite us to look at what comes after.
