Electroboy: A Memoir of Mania (Paperback)
To outward appearances, Andy Behrman was the lira of the party, planning crazy antics to amuse his friends, concocting doomed schemes to make money, flying to Tokyo on a moment's notice. He sought a high wherever he could find one, and changed jobs the way some people change outfits: PR agent, art dealer, stripper. Misdiagnosed by psychiatrists for years, his raging mania finally exacted a terrible price: out-of-control euphoric highs and tornado-like rages of depression that put his life in jeopardy.Electroboy recounts with kaleidoscopic intensity the years of Behrman's crescendoing illness, and the electroshock cure that brought him back to earth. At once hilarious and harrowing, Electroboy is a brutally honest portrait of man utterly at the mercy of his own impulses.
