Overview

A Schizophrenic on Artaud is a poetic exploration of the 20th century French writer Antonin Artaud. Artaud suffered from schizophrenia throughout his life, but nevertheless managed to produce a body of work that has since entered the canon of French letters. As a work produced by someone who also suffers from schizophrenia (and, like Artaud, also has a predilection for literature), Dr Paul Fearne's book examines schizophrenia itself through Artaud's writing. Dr Fearne's academic training brings to his book a broad grounding in French literature, but also literature from many other countries and points in history. Part poetic reflection, part literary exploration, A Schizophrenic on Artaud presents a unique relationship between two sufferers of this mental illness.
