Writing Madness, Writing Normalcy: Self and Stigma in Memoirs of Mental Illness
Lisa Spieker
What does it mean to be ‘mad’ in contemporary society? How do we categorize people's reactions to extreme pressures, trauma, loneliness and serious mental illness? Who gets to determine these classifications, and why? This book seeks to answer these questions through studying an increasingly popular media genre - memoirs of mental illnesses.
