Imagining Robert : My Brother Madness and Survival A Memoir

Overview
Commentary
In this memoir, novelist Jay Neugeboren writes of his brother Robert's 30-year struggle with mental illness, which has been severe enough for him to have to be institutionalized. Neugeboren writes of his own struggle to come to terms with Robert's illness and to help him to navigate through the mental health system.

Reviews
"...a detailed, exquisitely painful and always thoughtful account of [Neugeboren's] younger brother's long struggle with mental illness....Nothing is solved here, but Neugeboren's account may bring understanding to those who can barely imagine such horrors and comfort those who have and have felt alone."

"An uncommon tale of brotherly love....A rich, textured, and deeply sad tale..."

"Robert is a person here, and not a case history. Mr. Neugeboren finds his brother's noble moments, his triumphs of wit, the true Robert....Jay finds Robert by using his art: he imagines him for us, he makes his incoherent journey into a narrative that is organized and useful."

Frederick Busch

"Remarkably, this indictment of the mental health system is embedded in a narrative that is mostly pleasurable to read....The viewpoint is Jay Neugeboren's consciousness, and...he is engaging company and a trust worthy host."

Peter D. Kramer
