Additional information
by Martha Nichols (Editor), Mark Vonnegut (Preface by)
In this remarkable collection, 22 writers describe suicidal despair or mania--or coming to terms with a generational legacy of mental illness. Into Sanity includes personal essays by contributors from all over the United States and a preface by Mark Vonnegut, who judged the contest at Talking Writing magazine that sparked these true stories.
The media has paid more attention to suicide risks and depression in recent years, especially after the death of well-loved celebrities. And yet, mental illness remains misunderstood. Into Sanity offers the lived reality. These writers underscore why the stigma makes mental illness so hard to talk about--and why it takes courage to speak up.
