About memories of the author's family and schizophrenic sister, told through a journal she kept and other family members' memories of her and of growing up. It looked great but it was so boring and shapeless self indulgent that I gave up on it. ( ) no reviews | add a review
The evidence at hand: an autobiography-complete with their mother's edits-written by his brilliant and disturbingly religious sister; a story featuring actual childhood events, but published by his mother as fiction; the transcript of a hypnotherapy session from his adolescence; and perjured court documents hidden in a drawer for decades. These are the clues Robin Hemley gathers when he sets out to reconstruct the life of his older sister Nola, who died at the age of twenty-five after several years of treatment for schizophrenia.
