Thomas Melle, a successful young novelist and playwright, suddenly sells off his library without knowing why he's doing it. His personal life disintegrates as his behaviour becomes more irrational. Drunken frenzies, wild imaginings, fantasies about sex with stars, broken relationships, professional scandals, scuffles with the police, and enforced stays on psych wards. take over Melle's life. Possibly the most, precise, intense account ever written of how it feels to suffer from bipolar disorder, The World at My Back is a triumph of truth-telling and a masterpiece of elegant literary expression. Balancing exquisite writing with fearless confrontations with brutally self-destructive actions, this book is a wrenching confession and a moving description of the search for emotional balance."-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a Translation of: Die Welt im RuÌcken. 600 10 $a Melle, Thomas, $d 1975- 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a Authors, German $y 21st century $v Biography. 650 0 $a People with bipolar disorder $z Germany $v Biography. 650 7 $a Authors, German $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00822051 650 7 $a People with bipolar disorder $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007713 651 7 $a Germany $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210272 655 0 $a Biography. 655 7 $a autobiographies (literary works) $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300080104 655 7 $a Autobiographies $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 $a Biographies $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000520 776 08 $i Online version: $a Melle, Thomas, 1975- $s Welt im RuÌcken.
