Beschreibung:
Susanna Kaysen (1948) was brought up in Cambridge, Massachusetts where she still lives. She has written two novels, ASA, AS I KNEW HIM and FAR AFIELD. While working on the latter, memories of her two year stay at McLean's Psychiatric Hospital began to emerge. With the help of a lawyer she obtained her 350 page file from the hospital. GIRL, INTERRUPTED followed.
* Now a major film starring Winona Ryder, Whoopi Goldberg and Vanessa Redgrave
* A clear-sighted and unflinching memoir of an eighteen-year-old girl about her two year stay in a psychiatric hospital for depression
Von einem Arzt, der sie nie zuvor gesehen hat, wird die junge Susanna in die Psychiatrie eingewiesen. Für sie beginnt ein zweijähriger Klinikaufenthalt als entmündigte Patientin, deren Leben einem Balanceakt zwischen Realität und Alptraum gleicht.
