Title of Event: Norah Vincent - Voluntary Madness
When: Wednesday, January 7, 2009 8:00 PM
Location: Books & Books, Coral Gables
Description: Norah Vincent's New York Times bestselling book, Self-Made Man, ended on a harrowing note. Suffering from severe depression after her eighteen months living disguised as a man, Vincent felt she was a danger to herself. On the advice of her psychologist she committed herself to a mental institution. Out of this raw and overwhelming experience came the idea for her next book. She decided to get healthy and to study the effect of treatment on the depressed and insane "in the bin," as she calls it. Vincent applies brilliant insight as she exposes her personal struggle with depression and explores the range of people, caregivers, and methodologies that guide these strange, often scary, and bizarre environments. Eye opening, emotionally wrenching, and at times very funny, Voluntary Madness (Viking, $25.95) is a riveting work that exposes the state of mental healthcare in America from the inside out.

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
by Barrows, Annie Fiery, Shaffer, Mary Ann Fiery
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society is a gem. Just after WWII a writer is contacted by a fan on the island of Guernsey. As events unfold and she goes to Guernsey, she learns of the misery, bravery and ingenuity of the locals when Guernsey was abandoned by the British to be captured by the Germans. Because it's told in letters, it's bound to be compared it to 84 Charing Cross Road. But Guernsey Literary is like no other book I've ever read and it's outstanding.--Elaine Petrocelli, Book Passage (Corte Madera, CA)
