A sad examination of a highly flawed man with a brilliant mind and a difficult life due to his illness (at least I think it’s fair to say a lot of it was due to illness). I remember watching the movie many years ago and being moved. The book filled in a lot of gaps in details for me. Story was well told. And it gave me insight into schizophrenia in a way I had not previously understood.

מעצבן לאללה, עצוב להחריד, מעולה להפליא (ושונה לחלוטין מהטון הקיטשי של הסרט, תודה לאלוהי האתאיסטים)
