Cartoonist Ellen Forney explores the relationship between “crazy” and “creative” in this graphic memoir of her bipolar disorder, woven with stories of famous bipolar artists and writers. Shortly before her thirtieth birthday, Forney was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Flagrantly manic and terrified that medications would cause her to lose creativity, she began a years-long struggle to find mental stability while retaining her passions and creativity. Searching to make sense of the popular concept of the crazy artist, she finds inspiration from the lives and work of other artists and writers who suffered from mood disorders, including Vincent van Gogh, Georgia O’Keeffe, William Styron, and Sylvia Plath. She also researches the clinical aspects of bipolar disorder, including the strengths and limitations of various treatments and medications, and what studies tell us about the conundrum of attempting to “cure” an otherwise brilliant mind. Darkly funny and intensely personal, Forney’s memoir provides a visceral glimpse into the effects of a mood disorder on an artist’s work, as she shares her own story through bold black-and-white images and evocative prose.

A marvelous job with such insight into my mothers thoughts. I surely enjoyed the research on the events of each year in her life that stood out. I am sure my mother is very happy with the outcome. Florence Montfort Prender CORINNE TAYLOR tells the compelling story of Florence Schneider, a young debutante in the late-Victorian, high society of Washington D.C., who sidesteps a local array of handsome, eligible men and falls in love with Tom, a stranger to the city. Despite her other unrelenting suitors, Tom proves himself to be her truelove and an ambitious young man of great promise. With his impressive academic credentials and glowing references, he attains the blessing of her father, and their future appears golden. Vulnerabilities, romantic idealism, and unscrupulous behavior converge within the young couples seemingly idyllic relationship and, ultimately, lead to a perplexing tragedy. What occurred in 1915 plagued Florences family with fear and suspicion, and left a wake of unanswered questions. Meticulous research into archived information has put these questions to rest, and a mystery is revealed that has lain dormant for four generations.
