I have worked as a nurse in the area of psychiatry and schizophrenia has always intrigued me. I welcome you to this book tour of one’s struggles in coping with schizophrenia.
From the Back Cover
Accompany Eugene Uttley on a mythological “hero’s journey” to another world and back again, and join him as he articulates the prize that he won there–The Ultimate Boon.
Through his struggles in coping with schizophrenia, Uttley has come to know what he wants. Now he just needs to figure out how to get it.
This experimental open letter includes original and appropriated prose, poetry, song, prayer… memoir, travelogue, sketches of Uttley’s present-day life, and literary exegesis. Its many sources and topics are ranging, but circle always back to the overarching theme of recovery from mental illness through better knowledge of self and becoming more whole, a complex process both mental and spiritual, which entails increasing awareness of connectedness to the greater whole, the infinite.
Win the Boon Giveaway
The Boon: Thoughts of a Schizophrenic in Remission is a memoir of psychosis and recovery by Eugene Uttley.
An English teacher in Asia when the disorder took hold, Uttley was propelled by delusions into a yearlong psychosis.
This first-hand account of madness and the road to recovery shows what it is to be fragmented, mind and soul. The Boon is Uttley in the process of becoming whole again.
