Description This book is a memoir in which I've grappled with everything from mental illness to romantic frustration, from mysticism to homelessness. Thought is out of my mind's league, asides that which can come into being through my pen. I hope to have encapsulated something new with a stroke of something ancient. I cannot remember a time when I had the mental concentration to read without being suspended in an imprisoning haze, a dungeon's embrace. I would love to tell you in detail what my book is about, but I'm afraid I can't, as I haven't read it. - Adnandus Dyzantae About the Author Adnandus Dyzantae is 31. He lives in Hampstead with his mother and sister. He has read only one book in his life and flicks through prefaces, due to an absence of concentration. He spent 8 years alone in the wilderness of mental illness before being diagnosed by a psychiatrist at 24. Adnandus hopes medication and CBT will help him in his quest to gain some degree of formal education so he can continue his passion for writing. Reading still produces feelings of negative absorption within him, causing acute psychological discomfort. Yet he's written prolifically (some 300 poems) since dropping out of school at 17. This is his first book in prose. Adnandus writes from brain to paper without returning to change a single word of his work...probably because it would involve reading! He also composes music and lyrics. None of his work has been publicly seen before.
