SUMMARY:Esmé Weijun Wang - - The Collected Schizophrenias w/ Caille Millner
DESCRIPTION:EAST BAY BOOKSELLERS welcomes Esmé Weijun Wang to discuss her new new book The Collected Schizophrenias\, on Thursday\, February 7th at 7pm. She will be joined by Caille Milner \nPowerful\, affecting essays on mental illness\, winner of the Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize and a Whiting Award \nAn intimate\, moving book written with the immediacy and directness of one who still struggles with the effects of mental and chronic illness\, The Collected Schizophrenias cuts right to the core. Schizophrenia is not a single unifying diagnosis\, and Esmé Weijun Wang writes not just to her fellow members of the “collected schizophrenias” but to those who wish to understand it as well. Opening with the journey toward her diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder\, Wang discusses the medical community’s own disagreement about labels and procedures for diagnosing those with mental illness\, and then follows an arc that examines the manifestations of schizophrenia in her life. In essays that range from using fashion to present as high-functioning to the depths of a rare form of psychosis\, and from the failures of the higher education system and the dangers of institutionalization to the complexity of compounding factors such as PTSD and Lyme disease\, Wang’s analytical eye\, honed as a former lab researcher at Stanford\, allows her to balance research with personal narrative. An essay collection of undeniable power\, The Collected Schizophrenias dispels misconceptions and provides insight into a condition long misunderstood. \n* * * \n  \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nEsmé Weijun Wang is the author of The Border of Paradise. She received the Whiting Award in 2018 and was named one of Granta’s Best of Young American Novelists of 2017. She holds an MFA from the University of Michigan and lives in San Francisco. \nCaille Millner is the author of The Golden Road: Notes on my Gentrification(Penguin Press). Her short fiction has appeared in Zyzzyva and Joyland\, and Best American Short Stories 2016. Her essays have been in Michigan Quarterly Review\, The Los Angeles Review of Books\, and listed in Best American Essays 2017. Her awards include the Barnes and Noble Emerging Writers Award. \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nThursday\, February 7\, 2019 – 7:00pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nEast Bay Booksellers\n5433 College Avenue\n\nOakland\, CA 94618
