Review
"'As a brave, unflinching look at mental illness, Nervous System is revelatory; as a candid, conflicted view of the creative process, it is a revelation.' Vancouver Sun 'A weird and brilliant memoir... Jensen's writing is smooth and elegant, his narrative suspenseful, his sensibility witty... he delivers a smart and sympathetic narrator - himself - whose personal adventure, as terrifying as any in the thriller rack at the drug store, captures the catastrophes of the present, the ones lurking much closer to home.' Toronto Star 'Nervous System is not just a compelling memoir, it's an important one. Mental illness manages to be both glamorized and stigmatized in our culture. What is often missed is what Jensen shows us convincingly: the moment-to-moment unhappiness of losing your mind... Both harrowingly authentic and poignantly understated. This is, if we're lucky, as close as most of us will get to going really crazy.' National Post 'Candid, merciless, funny, horrific, insightful - often all at once.' Locus"
