Product Description

John Calder - World Famous Publisher

'Jason Pegler's A Can Of Madness is a moving and intelligent approach to a subject that is so little understood and too often ignored.

The Daily Telegraph, Jan 18 2003

Mr Pegler wants to encourage those with mental illness to write as a form of therapy, as he has done.

Being human is an absurd and ridiculous career 19 May 2008

By S. Gunasekera

Format:Paperback

An alcoholic Dad who verbally and physically abused his wife and children, poverty, helplessness, disability, depression, suicidal thoughts and self-harm. A possible suicide note that ended up celebrating life and dedicating work to Dad with lots of love, some peace and a little bit of pain. This book saved me and my life. After the reading, I celebrated my life with a glass of red wine.

courageous 11 July 2005

By "sarahb2271"

Format:Paperback

Abuse, family pressure, prejudice and severe mental illness, Dolly Sen has compiled problems from her childhood. It's really amazing and courageous to write an autobiography with much as humour and irony... A book which touches your heart, a lot of emotion and finally, the joie de vivre of an independent woman who has achieved he life instead of obstacles.
