520 In 1967, after a session with a psychiatrist she'd never
seen before, eighteen-year-old Susanna Kaysen was put in a
taxi and sent to McLean Hospital. She spent most of the
next two years on the ward for teenage girls in a
psychiatric hospital as renowned for its famous clientele-
-Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell, James Taylor, and Ray
Charles--as for its progressive methods of treating those
who could afford its sanctuary. Kaysen's memoir
encompasses horror and razor-edged perception while
providing vivid portraits of her fellow patients and their
keepers. It is a brilliant evocation of a "parallel
universe" set within the kaleidoscopically shifting
landscape of the late sixties. Girl, Interrupted is a
clear-sighted, unflinching document that gives lasting and
specific dimension to our definitions of sane and insane,
mental illness and recovery.
