"Writing well about mental illness is a feat. The writer needs to bring readers into a world that they might be reluctant to enter. Juliann Garey draws us right into her first novel, Too Bright to Hear, Too Loud to See, about a bipolar Hollywood studio executive who leaves his family to go off on a decade-long, wild ramble. Garey, who has openly talked about being bipolar, describes the feeling of being inside an unquiet brain with depth and precision."
