Essays on Madness: A Lunatic's Guide
"Absolutely brilliant…beautifully written.” Alastair Campbell
Essays on Madness tells the 25 year tale of the author's battle with her own brain, through bouts of depression, suicidal ideation and a whole load of other stuff.
But the story's not as bleak as it might sound.
It's an honest take on how it feels to have such a messy head, but also sheds light on what helps her feel that little bit less shit. Whether it's therapy and medication or minimalism and quitting dieting, she discovered there's a always a different way to look at things...and usually plenty to laugh about, too.
Essays on Madness is a brutally honest exploration of AA Fellowes' fucked up mind, and her endless attempts to un-fuck it.
