From Ivy League classrooms to homelessness, from voices that seemed to shape reality to beliefs that placed him at the center of the universe, Davis takes the reader inside schizophrenia as it is actually experienced—not as outsiders imagine it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is not a story of “split personality.” It is a story of belief versus reality, of a mind trying desperately to make sense of the world while the world itself becomes unrecognizable. Along the way, Davis explores race, faith, love, addiction, violence, loss, and the fragile line between insight and illness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt times painful, at times surprisingly funny, Solo Schizophrenia is a rare first-person account of mental illness told by someone who lived through it—and lived to tell the story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHenry Allan Davis, Jr., M.S., C.P.S. is a 72-year-old author born in Columbus, Ohio, now residing in Topeka, Kansas.
