Susannah Cahalan's Brain on Fire (2012) is the journalist's "month of madness" when she literally lost her mind and had no recollection of her acts. Using her jounalistic research skills and family journals and hospital CCT footage, she pieced together that lost month.
We close read a section of the book where she writes both jounalistically and in a literary narrative style and we discussed the elements in each section of the text.
Students then presented sections of the text - looking at its style and inspiration
