A doctoral candidate in mathematics at the University of Chicago, Alicia has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and she does not want to talk about her brother, Bobby. Instead, she contemplates the nature of madness, the human insistence on one common experience of the world; she recalls a childhood where, by the age of seven, her own grandmother feared for her; she surveys the intersection of physics and philosophy; and she introduces her cohorts, her chimeras, the hallucinations that only she can see. All the while, she grieves for Bobby, not quite dead, not quite hers. Told entirely through the transcripts of Alicia's psychiatric sessions, Stella Maris is a searching, rigorous, intellectually challenging coda to The Passenger, a philosophical inquiry that questions our notions of God, truth, and existence.--|cAmazon.com 650 0 Young women|vFiction. 650 0 Mental illness|vFiction. 650 0 Mentally ill women|vFiction. 650 0 Women doctoral students|vFiction. 650 0 Schizophrenics|vFiction. 650 0 Psychiatric hospitals|vFiction. 650 0 Grief|vFiction. 650 0 Large type books. 651 0 Wisconsin|vFiction. 655 7 Psychological fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Action and adventure fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Psychological fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01726481 655 7 Historical fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Novels.|2lcgft 994 C0|bCKE
