A review by mschlat
The Hospital Suite by John Porcellino

4.0

I'm a big fan of Porcellino's minimalism and his lyrical takes on nature and being. This volume has less of the emphasis on nature and more of a focus on his health issues, including several discussions of his OCD and anxiety. My wife compared it to [a:Ellen Forney|202782|Ellen Forney|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1369720769p2/202782.jpg]'s [b:Marbles: Mania, Depression, Michelangelo and Me|19535099|Marbles Mania, Depression, Michelangelo and Me|Ellen Forney|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1387284955s/19535099.jpg|19107284], but where Forney attempts to put her bipolar issues into the wider context of creativity, Porcellino makes his journey almost entirely internal. It's a sometime frightening trip (with many attempts at different cures), but still with the lightness of tone that Porcellino excels at.
