Rippling Pages: Interviews with Writers
Arts:Books
"I was wrestling with what certain states of being feel like as negatives."
Novelist and publisher, Neil Griffiths, joined me to discuss his essay, 'Madness as Such', which is featured
in Trauma: Writing About Art and Mental Health (Dodo Ink).
Neil talks candidly about his essay which reflects on his experiences of depression. Indeed, if you are affected by any
of the themes discussed in today's episode, I've reserved this episode's Rippling Points for a couple of links to charities.
