Description of  The Night Parade A Speculative Memoir [Audiobook]

B0BT6SGG5X M4B@64 kbps Author: Jami Nakamura Lin Narrator: Traci Kato-Kiriyama Are these the only two stories? The one, where you defeat your monster, and the other, where you succumb to it? Jami Nakamura Lin spent much of her life feeling monstrous for reasons outside of her control. As a young woman with undiagnosed bipolar disorder, much of her adolescence was marked by periods of extreme rage and an array of psychiatric treatments, and her relationships suffered as a result, especially as her father's cancer grasped hold of their family. As she grew older and learned to better manage her episodes, Lin became frustrated with the familiar pattern she found in mental illness and grief narratives, and their focus on recovery. She sought comfort in the stories she'd loved as a child-tales of ghostly creatures known to terrify in the night.
