Paper cuts : a memoir

Bernard, Stephen, 1975-2018
Books
With 'Paper Cuts', Stephen Bernard boldly tests the bounds of what a memoir can achieve. Living through the trauma of childhood abuse and mental illness, he writes to escape and confront, to accuse and explain. Each morning when he wakes, Stephen Bernard must literally reconstruct his self: every night he writes himself a letter to be read the next day. The fractured, intensely personal narrative of 'Paper Cuts' follows a single day in his life as he navigates a course through the effects of mania, medication and memories. The result is painful, unique and inspiring.
