When the Music's Over: My Journey into Schizophrenia

4/5 ( ratings)

As soon as Ross David Burke finished his autobiographical novel in November 1985, he took a massive overdose of drugs and ended a life that had been plagued for more than ten years by paranoid schizophrenia. Written in mental hospitals, jails, and while Ross was functioning in the community, his account is an intense, intimate portrait of the inner life of a schizophrenic. The author writes with ease and grace, blending vivid imagery, a wry sense of humor, and the raw poetry of rock and roll.
