New Book For Your Friday
Hesitating Beauty by Joshua Lutz
Joshua Lutz: “Holding on so tightly to what I believed was sanity and being consumed by fear of depression and schizophrenia prevented me from being fully present to my mother’s reality. The past few years, as she slipped away from the aggressive paranoia and depression of my youth to an almost calming sense of delusion, made it much easier for me to rid the anger that veiled my life and to attempt to find a place of empathy and compassion as I managed her care. In making this work and simultaneously falling deeper into her psychosis, I tried to imagine a time when the past present and future collided; a place where the weight of memory is heavier than reality.”
Get your copy at Ampersand or online here.
