Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'Compelling, charming and devastating' -- Kirkus Book Review 'David Lovelace's observation of manic depression -- his own, and his family's - is a brilliant, comic work of art. He's the infinitely talented man who's seen another country more clearly than anyone else, and has come back to tell us about it -- its wonders, and its startling familiarity. Read this book.' -- William Monahan, Academy Award winning screenwriter of The Departed and author of The Lighthouse

Reseña del editor:

An extraordinary and beautiful memoir from David Lovelace, who, along his brother and both his parents, suffers from bipolar disorder, or manic depression. Full Blown is Lovelace's poignant, humorous, and vivid account of the disease's effects on his family, and his gripping exploits as he spent his life running from--and finally learning to embrace--the madness encoded on his genes. This devastating yet gentle portrait of the Lovelace family strips away the shame associated with bipolar disorder, and celebrates the profound creative gifts that come with it.
