Synsopsis: Jay Neugeboren is the first writer to capture what it's like for the millions of families who must cope with a problem for which, most of the time, there is no solution. It's that portrait of a loving relationship that gives Imagining Robert its great power. Novelist Neugeboren has written a detailed, exquisitely painful, and always thoughtful account of his younger brother's long struggle with mental illness. It may bring understanding to those who can barely imagine such horrors and comfort to those who have and felt it alone. An uncommon tale of brotherly love, and a passionate defense of the notion that dignity belongs as much to the mad as the rest of us. Jay Neugeboren and his brother, Robert, grew up in Brooklyn in the years following World War II. Both brothers - smart, talented, and popular - seemed well on the way to successful lives when, for reasons that remain ultimately mysterious, Robert had a mental breakdown at age nineteen. For the past forty years Jay has been not only his brother's friend and confidant, but his advocate, as Robert continues to suffer from the ravages of the illness that has kept him institutionalized for most of his adult life. Imagining Robert tells the story of these two brothers and how their love for one another has enabled both to survive and to thrive in miraculous, surprising ways. It reveals how even the grimmest of lives can be sustained by the power of love. Jay Neugeboren is the author of thirteen books, including two collections of award-winning stories, two prize-winning novels, and two nonfiction titles. His most recent book is Transforming Madness: New Lives for People Living with Mental Illness., Rutgers University Press, 2003, 5<
