Zig-Zag Boy: A Memoir of Madness and Motherhood by Tanya Frank

dark
slow-paced
2.0
Riddled with problematic asides that I’d argue are inside-thoughts. I’ll only add that while she does discuss herself relative to other family members of someone who’s experienced psychosis, Zach’s behavior is repeatedly compared to or reflected on through animals (seals and her dog). Hm.
Though she gives lip service to ideas of autonomy and ethics around agency (and her own struggle allowing Zach both) I’d appreciate going deeper into her understanding of, and growth in each. Like…how does he even feel about this book?
