About the book
In this book, author Rosen recounts the life of his best childhood friend, Michael. They both were academically gifted, stellar students who became Yale graduates. Then Michael began to experience symptoms of schizophrenia, and the majority of the book concerns the twists and turns of his life thereafter. This author makes the occasional digression into marginally related topics, such as schools of literary criticism (he was an English major), deconstruction, and the metaphors of madness that permeate our language. This book offers a comprehensive history of mental illness and the institutional attempts to deal with a devastating disease. The author showed amazing insight into the life of his schizophrenic childhood friend through a fascinating, empathetic account of his life which took a turn toward the dark side.
