I already owned these books (Carrie Fisher's Wishful Drinking and Shockaholic; Kay Redfield Jamison An Unquiet Mind), but I packed them away with the rest of my books and belongings and put them in storage. So I bought them again. I've assigned myself homework: 1) read these bipolar memoirs and 2) research bipolar disorder. All in preparation for the bipolar memoir I want to write. I think my memoir will offer something that's not on the market. I haven't seen any mental health memoirs by people of color. I'm not claiming that I'll be writing the first, but I haven't seen any others. If you know of any, please add them to the Comments section below.
