Publisher Description:
"Suzanne Scanlon enters the inverted space of grief and near-madness with courage, intelligence, and wit--and with a small, sharp light for us to follow." --Dawn Raffel

A series of fragmentary tales tells the story of Lizzie, a young woman who, in her early twenties, unexpectedly embarks on a journey through psychiatric institutions, a journey that will end up lasting many years. With echoes of Sylvia Plath, and against a cultural backdrop that includes Shakespeare, Woody Allen, and Heathers, Suzanne Scanlon's first novel is both a deeply moving account of a life of crisis and a brilliantly original work of art.
