    Dita leaves the rat race to go on the UK road to find herself. On the way there she finds beauty, nature, drugs, sex, love, a dead body, poetry, and the incandescent holiness of many a lonely cafe. This is Dolly Sen's first book, written in her 20s, inspired by Kerouac's ON THE ROAD, the first book she read where she saw being a writer was a possibility. She dropped out of school at 14 with no qualifications and people told her she couldn't be a writer. She didn't listen to them and wrote this book to save her own soul.

    DescriptionThis was Chipmunka Publishing's second book release, and one of the most important books on mental illness ever written. A book that in the words of the author, "started out a suicide note and ended up a celebration of life". Dolly's outstanding memoir is the gripping tale of a woman's fight to come to terms with abuse, family pressures, prejudice and severe mental ill health. Sen describes the horrible reality of being diagnosed with both manic depression and schizophrenia and the prejudice she faced. Add to this a series of horrific experiences in her life, and it is remarkable how she has the strength to come through such events, writing with such vigour, optimism and warmness.About the AuthorBorn in 1970, she had her first psychotic experience aged 14 which lead her to leave school. After years of mental illness, probably bought on by an abusive childhood, Dolly decided she should write about her experiences. She was inspired to write her own story after reading Jason Pegler's autobiography 'A Can of Madness'. She has since written five books, become a successful performance poet who has toured throughout Europe and has set up two charities.

P.N. Furbank o DiderocieJestem nienawi¿ci¿ do samej siebie, otoczon¿ przez lustra. Nie takie szklane lustra, których tyle wyt¿uk¿am, ¿e pech mnie nie opu¿ci, cho¿bym ¿y¿a tysi¿c razy. Nie - to lustra oczu, które bezustannie mnie ¿ledz¿. Lustra, które maj¿ imiona i dusze. Lustra, które si¿ u¿miechaj¿ i k¿ami¿. ¿Masz oczy jak tata i k¿amiesz jak tata. Musisz z sob¿ sko¿czy¿!" - s¿ysz¿ natr¿tne g¿osy. Czy wspomnienia mog¿ zamieni¿ si¿ w psychoz¿? Niektóre parz¿ mnie jak roz¿arzone ¿elazo. Pisz¿c ten pami¿tnik, musz¿ si¿ strzec, ¿eby nie zamieni¿ si¿ w list po¿egnalny. Mój ojciec by¿ aktorem i muzykiem, wi¿c wychowywäam si¿ w¿ród ludzi z bran¿y rozrywkowej. Ojciec uwää si¿ te¿ za komika, ale ¿miech rzadko go¿ci¿ w naszym domu.Moj¿ pierwsz¿ rol¿ filmow¿, któr¿ pami¿tam, by¿o statystowanie w Imperium kontratakuje. Planem filmowym by¿o wn¿trze stacji kosmicznej i wsz¿dzie roi¿o si¿ od pokracznych stworów. Nie wiedziäam, ¿e to si¿ dzieje na niby - by¿am pewna, ¿e to dokument. Dwadzie¿cia lat pó¿niej mój umys¿ te¿ opu¿ci¿ Ziemi¿.Z no¿em w r¿ku stoj¿ nad ¿pi¿cym ojcem. Widz¿ w nim straszliwego ¿obcego", który czyha na moj¿ zgub¿, dlatego musi zgin¿¿. Chc¿ uderzy¿ go no¿em prosto w twarz. ¿Ten si¿ ¿mieje, kto si¿ ¿mieje ostatni" - mówi¿. Nie dbam, ¿e to mnie doprowadzi do czubków lub samobójstwa. Jak to uj¿¿ mój psychiatra, ¿Dolly, twój nast¿pny przystanek to pokój bez klamek". Nie dbam o to, bo robi¿, co robi¿, ¿eby prze¿y¿. Tak trudno to zrozumie¿?Patrz¿, jak ¿pi i czekam na odpowiedni moment, ¿eby go zabi¿. Czekam. Czekam. Odór jego potu, resztki jedzenia w brodzie i plwociny na pod¿odze tylko podsycaj¿ wzbieraj¿cy we mnie gniew. Wznosz¿ nó¿, gotowa zatopi¿ go w tym ludzkim ¿mieciu. Ze ¿ciany wpatruje si¿ we mnie inna para oczu. To moje zdj¿cie z dzieci¿stwa, u¿miecham si¿ do obiektywu. Trzykrotnie zbieram si¿ w sobie, ¿eby wbi¿ nó¿ w g¿ow¿ ojca, ale dziecko mnie obserwuje i nie mog¿ si¿ na to zdoby¿. ¿Przepraszam, ¿e robi¿ z ciebie morderczyni¿ - mówi¿ do fotografii. - Kiedy¿ by¿am dzieckiem, mä¿ dziewczynk¿..."
