From 2013 to 2017, Linda Bostroem Knausgard was periodically
confined to a psychiatric ward and subjected to electroconvulsive
therapy, resulting in the loss of memories. This is the story of
her struggle against mental illness and isolation "(Bostroem
Knausgard's) first openly autobiographical book becomes an act of
self-examination powerful enough to match if not surpass those of
her ex-husband's."--The Guardian From 2013 to 2017, Linda Bostroem
Knausgard was periodically interned in a psychiatric ward where she
was subjected to electroconvulsive therapy. As the treatments at
this "factory" progressed, the writer's memories began to
disappear. What good is a writer without her memory? This book,
based on the author's experiences, is an eloquent and profound
attempt to hold on to the past, to create a story, to make sense,
and to keep alive ties to family, friends, and even oneself.
Moments from childhood, youth, marriage, parenting, and divorce
flicker across the pages of October Child. This is the story of one
woman's struggle against mental illness and isolation. It is a raw
testimony of how writing can preserve and heal.
