In 1976, while studying at Queens University in Ontario, Les Short began to experience the first of five paranoid schizophrenic episodes that took place over a span of 19 years. This autobiography explores his experiences in acute detail, in his own words, painting these disorienting episodes with such clarity that the reader can even share in the internal logic of Short's paranoia. Covering episodes of acute psychosis with symptoms of paranoia, synchronicity, visions and voices, this book recounts being committed and confronting psychiatric wards, a battery of therapists, and arrests and imprisonment. More than just hearing voices, schizophrenia is presented first-hand in a new light, offering detailed and relatable insights on a highly misunderstood illness.
