[edit] ANGELHEAD

This text documents the violent, drug-addled descent of the author's brother, Michael, into paranoid schizophrenia. It presents a first-hand insight to the fragmenting of a mind and a family with the satisfaction of hard, unflinching truth.

'My brother saw the face of God. You never recover from a trauma like that.' Set in Tidewater, Virginia, in the 1980s and early 1990s, ANGELHEAD documents the violent, drug-addled descent of the author's brother, Michael, into paranoid schizophrenia. From Michael's first psychotic break aged 14 through a series of petty crimes, bizarre disappearances, and suicide attempts to the shocking crime that landed him in the psychiatric wing of a maximum-security prison, ANGELHEAD enables us to witness first-hand the fragmenting of a mind and a family. Bottoms's pitch-perfect prose offers no consolation or easy answers - simply emotional precision and the satisfaction of hard, unflinching truth.
