From the Back Cover:
The Voices of Robby Wilde is an engrossing, often disturbing, look at the inner life of a paranoid schizophrenic. Some ten years before his death at age fifty-three, Wilde asked his friend Elizabeth Kytle to write about his affliction. Ranging in time from Wilde's youth in rural North Carolina to his impoverished last days in Columbus, Ohio, Kytle chronicles the slow unravelling and final breakdown of a life. Wilde's story, heightened by his longing to be understood and his acute grasp of his own situation, will challenge readers to new levels of respect and compassion for the mentally ill.
About the Author:
Elizabeth Kytle resides in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. She is also the author of "Willie Mae" (Georgia reprint, 1993).

Prompt shipment, with tracking. we ship in CLEAN SECURE BOXES NEW BOXES From Publishers Weekly Kytle, author of Willie Mae, notes that she was requested by the late Robby Wildehe died in 1974, a middle-aged manto relate the story of his paranoid schizophrenia. She here disguises his real name, as well as locales and the people she interviewed about him. He emerges from this account as extraordinarily intelligent, well read and gifted; two of his poems are printed in the book. But Wilde's life was blighted by "voices" that tormented him incessantly. He lost jobs and friendships because of his puzzling behavior, despite his efforts to be "normal." His story broadens our understanding of mental illness and leaves readers dismayed by society's treatment of the afflicted. 5000 first printing.
