OWL Monthly Non-Fiction Book Discussion Group

Group meets in the library's Jamie Gagarin Community Room

Book to be discussed: The Best Minds: A Story of Friendship, Madness, and Good Intentions by Jonathan Rosen

In New Rochelle in 1973, the author and his best friend were keen competitors while they succeeded academically. But at one point the friend suffered a psychotic break and entered a psychiatric hospital. Diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, he continued to pursue ambitious goals until a terrible event. The book is a heartbreaking account of good intentions and tragic outcomes.
