In his early 20s, having already lived a lifetime of excess, Rick
Moody found himself stranded suddenly in a depression so profound
that he feared for his life. A stay in a psychiatric hospital was
just the first step out of his mental illness. Here, Moody tells
the story of his collapse and recovery, in an inspired journey
through what it means to feel young and confused; then older and
confused; guilty, lost, and finally healed.;Woven through his own
story, Moody also traces his family's paternal line, looking for
clues to his own melancholy - in particular to one ancestor,
Reverend Joseph Moody, about whom Nathaniel Hawthorn wrote an
archetypal study of shame entitled "The Minister's Black Veil".
