When The Music Is Over: My Journey Into Schizophrenia by Ross David Burke

In this autobiographical "novel," Burke reveals his world as a paranoid schizophrenic in intimate detail. He is the third of four sons born in Australia in the 1950s, and his early family life proved uneventful. After a short employment career, his mental instability surfaced. He sank into a delusional life of drugs, sex, and rock'n'roll and proceeded to enter and leave mental hospitals over a period of years. At the end, we learn that Burke committed suicide shortly after the completion of this book in 1985. Edited by Burke's neuropsychologist and teacher, Gates, the book opens with an introduction that prepares the reader for the roller-coaster ride of emotions to come. The book ends with a very concise description of schizophrenia and its subtypes, as well as a list of references for further reading. Ultimately a book for lay readers, this is an adequate, though not necessary, addition to public and academic libraries.

very very sad.
it says he committed suicide after completing the book!
