The Voices Of Robby Wilde by Elizabeth Kytle
The book examines Robby Wilde, a man with paranoid schizophrenia who first heard a voice at age nine. Ten years before his death at fifty-three, Wilde asked his friend Elizabeth Kytle to write about his condition. Kytle traces his life from rural North Carolina to impoverished last days in Columbus, Ohio, using twice-told tales in which Wilde's recollections alternate with differing accounts from friends, family, and coworkers, and chronicles the slow unraveling and final breakdown of his life.
