My favorite to date is Brian Wilson's I am Brian Wilson but I would like to read more. Of course, ive read lots of literature with characters who experience psychosis but it is not the same.
Thank you for sharing your writing.

My first novel was about a guy suffering from a traumatic brain injury that resulted in irregularly occurring bouts of severe memory impairment and the effect that impairment had on his understanding of his life and self as well as his close interpersonal relationships. I wrote using an experimental writing style in the social science fiction genre with influences such as Brave New World and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. Other influences were Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, Cormac McCarthy, and Virginia Woolf.
The only memoir that I've read from the male perspective of bipolar disorder was one that was written by Sidney Sheldon. The only others that I've read are An Unquiet Mind and Madness, which were both written by ladies. I'll have to check out I am Brian Wilson.
