Description
I have bipolar disorder, two teenaged daughters and a long-term relationship with the Arts that is borderline abusive on both sides. Over the course of human history, there have been countless tomes composed on the subject of mental health, and an equally daunting number on the joys and perils of raising children. If you factor in the mysterious nature of twins and the long-term ramifications of being raised in a cult, however, then it's basically this one and Harry Potter. If it helps, our story is shorter and contains fewer owls. Bisection is the story of one man, two children and bipolar disorder. Equal parts comedy, tragedy, absurdity and philosophy, it is a unique look at mental health, parenting and everything in between.
