Girl, Interrupted Summary Array

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.

When reality got "too dense" for 18-year-old Susanna Kaysen, she was hospitalized. It was 1967, and reality was too dense for many people. But few who are labeled mad and locked up for refusing to stick to an agreed-upon reality possess Kaysen's lucidity in sorting out a maelstrom of contrary perceptions. Her observations about hospital life are deftly rendered; often darkly funny. Her clarity about the complex province of brain and mind, of neuro-chemical activity and something more, make this book of brief essays an exquisite challenge to conventional thinking about what is normal and what is deviant.
