Literature has long attempted to penetrate the human mind. But how do you understand someone who harbors 24 personalities? And how do you figure out who is the master of this multitude of consciousnesses? Who are you communicating with at any given moment? Only a master of psychological prose can unravel this maze of consciousness and help Billy Milligan unite all his personalities into one, become his true self. But is such a thing even possible?

Daniel Keyes's documentary novel is a faithful biography of the first person ever found not guilty by a US court because of multiple personality disorder. Despite the gravity of his crimes, this investigation into the life of one of the most famous figures in the history of psychiatry ultimately evoked understanding and sympathy among both those who knew Billy well and those who only read about him in the newspapers.

The book grips you from the very first page and candidly reveals the terrible consequences of an indifferent and imperfect society that allows itself to ignore the problem of violence.
