Literal Mind Non-Fiction Book Review. Girl, Interrupted, by Susanna Kaysen.
All systems are far from go in the high-school brain.
The separation being a condemning diagnosis from a psychiatrist she had seen only once. It was so strange to think of this lovely, bucolic campus a place where I pick apples for pie in the fall as something other than a restful area. But in the end, I found I had more in common with Kaysen than location. This short book, punctuated with stark, pithy prose, seemed to hit home on many levels. As a terribly depressed girl who loses part of her life to McLean, Kaysen considers many issues in the realm of the sane and insane.
