Ross David Burke Book order (chronological)
June 21, 1953 – November 27, 1985
Written in mental hospitals, in jail, and while its author was functioning in the community, this book is an intense, intimate portrait of the inner life of a schizophrenic. As soon as Burke finished this autobiographical "novel" in 1985, he took a massive overdose of drugs and ended a life that been plagued by paranoid schizophrenia for more than a decade.
