A re-read underscores how fragile Saks's ability to function is, and how tenaciously she works for it. The effort leaves me exhausted. This is an excellent autobiography for professionals who work with people with psychotic disorders to read. It is clear, nuanced, personal, and, as Saks acknowledges, not representative of everyone's capacity to overcome aspects of extreme mental illness.
