About this product

Product Information

In 1967, after a session with a psychiatrist she'd never seen before, eighteen-year-old Susanna Kaysen was put in a taxi and sent to McLean Hospital.  She spent most of the next two years on the ward for teenage girls in a psychiatric hospital as renowned for its famous clientele--Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell, James Taylor, and Ray Charles--as for its progressive methods of treating those who could afford its sanctuary. Kaysen's memoir encompasses horror and razor-edged perception while providing vivid portraits of her fellow patients and their keepers. It is a brilliant evocation of a "parallel universe" set within the kaleidoscopically shifting landscape of the late sixties. Girl, Interrupted is a clear-sighted, unflinching documnet that gives lasting and specific dimension to our definitions of sane and insane, mental illness and recovery. From the Trade Paperback edition.

  • Great book

    I loved this book. The moment I got home and saw that it had come in the mail that day, I opened it and started reading it. I had to go to my younger sister's band concert that night but read during it, instead of listening. The movie is the main reason why I decided to buy this book, because of it's amazing portrayl of the life in an asylum. The book was a quick, easy read, really allowing you see the inside of a disturbed person's mind, and the medical forms inbetween chapters set an even more real tone to the book.

  • Excellent selection

    Great book.

  • Girl, Interrupted. Great book with a great ending.

    I bought the book Girl, Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen. I finished it just the other week. The book is very funny and sarcastic. Read it, you'll love it.

  • Great seller, fast shipment. Thank you!!

    Loved the novel. Great story with great meaning. Beautiful insight of the mind of a "crazy" person. We all may be crazy.
