Capote went to extra, rather journalistic lengths to cover the story of a Kansas robbery and murder by two men in the late 1950’s. Although the crime itself is very ugly (a man, a woman, and two of their teenage children were victims), the book itself is well organized and elegantly written. One of the alleged killers, while behind bars and awaiting his fate, comes to speak candidly to Capote and therefore to the reader as well.

When Marya wrote the bestseller Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia & Bulimia, she didn't yet know the underlying reason for the chaos in her life. Then, at age 24, she was diagnosed with Type 1 rapid-cycle bipolar, the most severe form of bipolar disease. Now, her fiercely self-aware portrait of her bipolar childhood will powerfully change the very current of debate on whether the disease actually exists. It's a surprising story of wit & grace that illustrates her rich & beautiful life despite the disorder.
