About this title

From the Back Cover

The Voices of Robby Wilde is an engrossing, often disturbing, look at the inner life of a paranoid schizophrenic. Some ten years before his death at age fifty-three, Wilde asked his friend Elizabeth Kytle to write about his affliction. Ranging in time from Wilde's youth in rural North Carolina to his impoverished last days in Columbus, Ohio, Kytle chronicles the slow unravelling and final breakdown of a life. Wilde's story, heightened by his longing to be understood and his acute grasp of his own situation, will challenge readers to new levels of respect and compassion for the mentally ill.
