A stark, lyrical, and personal account of the soul in crisis from the acclaimed author of Wild and Kith. Tristimania tells the story of a devastating year with manic depression, culminating in a long solitary pilgrimage path in Spain. For the first time, the experience of mania is captured in a unique way, revealing how the condition is both terrifying and deeply creative, playing with the soul. An intimate and candid journey of mental health and recovery, Tristimania illuminates something of the universal spirit. Very poetic. A glimpse into madness from within the storm.
