Description:
First published in 1993, Girl, Interrupted is Susanna Kaysen’s acclaimed memoir of her late-1960s stay at McLean Hospital, the renowned psychiatric institution outside Boston. With sharp intelligence and emotional clarity, Kaysen examines mental illness, identity, and autonomy through brief, penetrating chapters that read like moments of fractured memory.
Neither sentimental nor sensational, this is a precise, quietly powerful book that continues to resonate with readers interested in mental health narratives, women’s memoir, and modern literary nonfiction.
