I loved her book. As the sibling to someone who suffers from schizophrenia, I make a point to read and comment on articles that address the subject. I was impressed by The Joker’s portrayal of hallucinations and separation of self and I highly recommend Robert Kolker’s book Hidden Valley Road about a family of 12 with 6 sons who dealt with schizophrenia and the corresponding DNA trials conducted on them. Mental illness truly is something we need to look at as part of the human experience rather than separate from it. We are all much closer to it than we want to believe.
