Recenzii
Cho's intense, poginant book exists in a category of its own
Cho weaves fractured memoir with Korean history and culture in a raw exploration of mental illness
A courageous and powerful book
A brave, brilliant exploration of madness and motherhood
Captivating ... A disturbing and masterfully told memoir, but it's also an important one that pushes back against powerful taboos
This striking story of motherhood and psychosis grips ... One of the many fascinating things about this beautifully written book is that it asks us to consider what counts as normal behaviour and what doesn't ... A highly accomplished memoir. Cho deftly weaves the strands of her experience to create something striking and original
A brilliantly frightening memoir about Cho's two weeks on the psychiatric ward, elegantly interwoven with tales from her past ... [Cho writes] herself into motherhood and into a form of sanity that does not leave behind the insights enabled by psychosis.
In honest and intricate detail, Inferno traverses between past traumas and present-day experiences
Utterly brilliant: poetic, truthful, frightening, clever. I held my breath at both the power of the prose and the writer's unflinching honesty
A viscerally raw and startlingly honest account of the author's journey into motherhood. A must-read for those looking to understand one of the darkest corners of the female experience
A powerful and poignant book. The difficult and haunting brutality of both psychosis and relationships was so beautifully and honestly portrayed
Triumphant
Insightful and shocking
Completely devastating. Completely heartbreaking. Written in luminous, spiralling prose
A fierce, brave, glittering book that charts with unflinching honesty the shift from one reality to another and the family ghosts that - without always knowing it - we all carry
Compelling and exquisitely written. Catherine Cho's eye-opening memoir took me into a world I knew nothing about. She communicates her experience with such startling clarity, I felt I was right there with her. Exceptional
Utterly compelling and beautifully written, Inferno is one of the bravest and most beautiful books I have ever read
Inferno does just as the title suggests, it throws you into the flames of the author's psychosis so that you are in there with her, fighting for your next breath. I've rarely read such a powerful account of madness. Gripping, chilling and ultimately hopeful, this is one not to miss
I was hooked from the very start ... It is at heart a love story, but one in which unimaginable, wonderfully depicted, mental torture intrudes. In sharing this pain, and exploring its cultural and other causes, Catherine Cho does a great service to the cause of breaking down stigma surrounding mental ill health ... A beautiful book
