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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Being human is an absurd and ridiculous career, 19 May 2008

S. Gunasekera "Reader" (London) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The World is Full of Laughter: 1 Million People Commit Suicide Every Year (Memoir on Mental Distress) (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars courageous, 11 July 2005

"sarahb2271" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The World is Full of Laughter: 1 Million People Commit Suicide Every Year (Memoir on Mental Distress) (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.

By A Customer

This review is from: The World is Full of Laughter: 1 Million People Commit Suicide Every Year (Memoir on Mental Distress) (Paperback)

Would you like to see how would looked like the daughter of Elvis Presley and Janis Joplin, well simply watch Dolly, as she describes herself. Everything began as a fairy tail, Dolly was a child actress. But Show business' world is tough for a little girl! All along the book we follow Dolly through her unbelievable and painful life. However Dolly loves life and testifies that there is always an end to every kind of pain.
