Reviews
"[An] utterly unique book of essays: a deep, illuminating, and explosively written dive into a life of living with mental illness." -- Entertainment Weekly "[ The Collected Schizophrenias is] resoundingly intelligent, often unexpectedly funny, questioning, fearless and peerless, as Wang makes for brilliant company on 13 difficult walks through largely uncharted territory." -- Los Angeles Times "Intimate, urgent, and powerful. . . . Wang writes generously about the manifestations of schizophrenia in her life . . . and lends her keen analysis to the big, ethical questions about how we treat those whose experience of the world differs from ours." -- BuzzFeed "An intimate, rigorously researched, collection." -- BBC Culture "In a voice both laboratorial and poetic, Wang examines her own diagnosis, as well as her PTSD and Lyme disease, with a gentleness and frankness that mesmerizes and demystifies." -- The Week "Wang is a brilliant writer. . . . This intimate essay collection grapples with her diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder and all the sorrow and searching that comes with it. Always artful and illuminating, never facile." -- Vulture "Wang's clear-eyed look into a complicated reality makes this is an essential read for anyone who better wants to understand why we treat each other--and ourselves--so harshly at any display of weakness; it's a book of compassion and brilliance, an unflinching look at a topic that has long repelled too many of us." -- NYLON "Esmé Weijun Wang's compelling essays highlight the humanity behind a schizophrenia diagnosis, delivering a necessary read tackling mental illness." -- Paste "Wang writes brilliantly and beautifully about lives lived with mental illness." --The Millions "Wang . . . eloquently balances personal narrative and empirical research to offer a powerful series of insights into a woefully misunderstood world." -- SF Weekly "[ The Collected Schizophrenias ] organizes the confusion, terror and complexity of [Wang's] experience into an imperfectly cohesive, profoundly illuminating whole." -- Shelf Awareness "Penetrating and revelatory." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "An invaluable work." -- Booklist , starred review "This mesmerizing collection of essays has achieved the rarest of rarities--a meaningful and expansive language for a subject that has been long bound by both deep revulsion and intense fascination." --Jenny Zhang "A brilliant guide to the complexities of thinking about illness, and mental illness, in particular. It will bring hope to others searching to understand their own diagnoses." --Meghan O'Rourke "A masterful braiding of the achingly personal and the incisively researched. . . . This book is a vital, illuminating window onto the world we all already live in, but find all too easy to ignore." --Alexandra Kleeman "You won't find any pity-baiting, sensationalism, or false positivity here; Wang is so candidly aware that I'd trust her over my own diary." --Tony Tulathimutte "Esmé Weijun Wang offers us an all-access pass to her beautiful, unquiet mind. . . Rarely has a book about living with mental illness felt so immediate, raw, and powerful." --Dani Shapiro " The Collected Schizophrenias is at once generous and brilliantly nuanced, rigorous and bold. It had me rethinking what it is to be well or ill." --R. O. Kwon "Esmé Weijun Wang sends out revelatory dispatches from an under-mapped land, shot like arrows in all directions from a taut bow of a mind. . . . Her work changes the way we think about illness - which is to say that it changes us." --Whiting Award Selection Committee, "[An] utterly unique book of essays: a deep, illuminating, and explosively written dive into a life of living with mental illness." -- Entertainment Weekly "Intimate, urgent, and powerful. . . .

Synopsis
Powerful, affecting essays on mental illness, winner of the Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize and a Whiting Award An 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 Esm 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., The Collected Schizophrenias begins with Esmé Weijun Wang's long journey toward a diagnosis and then ventures into the daily realities of life with mental illness. Wang's essays, whether on using fashion to present as high functioning or navigating the depths of a rare form of psychosis, dispel misperceptions and provide insight into a condition long misunderstood, culminating in a book of undeniable clarity and power.
