Fascinating autofiction, a story about illness and healing, about the boundaries of "normality" and what a person who goes crazy without noticing it experiences. This is how Billy Milligan or the heroes of Oliver Sacks' stories might have been told about themselves.
Reading this book, absolutely everyone can try on themselves everything that the author writes about. This is not only a story about "madness" - it raises deep worldview and existential questions. It is written dynamically, engagingly, in dialog with the reader, one could even say, interactive. The author plays with us in places: for example, describing the different voices in his head, suddenly asks: "Do you read these lines in your voice or mine? What, it tickled your heart, didn't it?" (the reader's heart does indeed tick at that moment). It is impossible to tear oneself away from the text. And despite the fact that the topic is not easy, the book leaves an inspiring and life-affirming aftertaste.
