The forces of the acclaimed writer Jonathan Rosen were investigated, which inspired his nearest childhood friend, Michael Lodar, with the heights of the great promise at the Forensic Psychiatry Hospital, where he has lived since killing the woman he loved. A story about the price of friendship, love and self-confusion, the best mind examines ways in which we understand-and failed to understand.
When Rostens moved to New Rochelle in 1973, Jonathan Rosen and Michael Laader became inseparable. Both children of college professors were the best friends and curious rival, and, when both joined the University of Yale, were ready to join the American meritocratic elite.
Michael graduated Summa cum loud through college in three years and launched a top-up counseling job. But everything was not as it seemed. One day, Jonathan received a call: Michael suffered a serious psychological break and was in a closed ward of a psychiatry hospital.
With Paranoid schizophrenia, Michael was still struggling with confusion when he traded his half -way house for Yale Law School. A role model at The New York Times was depicted as Genius, selling a memoir, with Ron Howard had film rights. But then Michael, in the grip of an unwanted pararanoid fantasy, killed his girlfriend Carrie and became a completely different front-page story.
The bade by tender, funny, and twist, the best mind is a heart -wrenching eats of Jonathan Rosen’s brilliant and good intentions and tragic consequences, whose importance will echo widely.
