Personne

"No One is the portrait of a man without a true self, a one-time distinguished lawyer and member of the Paris bar whose disabling bipolar disorder turns him into a drifter and frequent visitor to mental institutions. Moving between the voices of daughter and father, this fictional memoir in dictionary form investigates the many men behind the masks, and a unified portrait evolves. Letter by letter, Gwanaëlle Aubry gives shape and meaning to the father who had long disappeared from her view. The whole is a beautifully written, vivid exploration of mental illness and what it can reveal more generally about human experience."--P. [4] of cover.
