A TIME BEST E book OF THE Yr
Hurry Down Sunshine can be an extraordinary family report and a memoir of exceptional vitality. In it, Michael Greenberg recounts in stunning detail the amazing summertime when, at the age of fifteen, his child was struck mad. It begins with Sally's unexpected visionary crack-up on the roads of Greenwich Village, and remains, among other places, in the out-of-time world of a Manhattan psychiatric ward during the city's most sweltering months. It is a tale of a family broken open up, then painstakingly, movingly stitched together again.
Among Greenberg's unforgettable cast of people are an unconventional psychiatrist, an Orthodox Jewish patient, a manic Classics teacher, a movie manufacturer, and a landlord with literary dreams. Unsentimental, nuanced, and deeply humane, Hurry Down Sunshine is essential reading in the literature of affliction alongside classics such as Female, Interrupted and An Unquiet Head.
