Alice's iconoclastic European father was a fleeting, atmospheric disturbance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlice grows up as a child living in an adult's world, with little-to-no boundaries or supervision. As she enters adolescence, a dissociative disorder erases her identity, and overzealous doctors medicate her further into madness. In the absence of self, she inhabits various roles: as a patient in expensive psychiatric hospitals, the ingenue in destructive encounters with older men, a provocateur who weaponizes intellectual dazzle and outrageous candor--until a medication-induced psychosis brings these personas crashing down. Finally, a soulful connection with a generous and sensitive musician allows her to free herself from the pathologies that defined her and recognize her true self. With gallows humor and brutal honesty, Carri?re has written a unique and mesmerizing narrative of emergence and, at last, cure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice Carrière\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Spiegel \u0026amp; Grau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/29\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.06w x 1.18d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781954118294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/08\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2023 pg. 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlice Carrière\u003c\/b\u003e is a graduate of Columbia University.
