Description

Poetry Narrative Autobiography The Glass Staircase is a narrative and emotional experience conveyed partly by poems, and partly in marginal prose notes. It is both autobiographical and creative, telling how the author, Heather Murray Tobias, married a Hungarian refugee, and how they longed for a child, but had a series of male stillbirths. Eventually, they produced a female child who is very much the subject of the whole book. She is a talented and sensitive child, who goes from rural Victoria to study art in Melbourne. She suffers a complete nervous breakdown, leading to a diagnosis of severe mental illness, and comes into the care of EPPIC, run by Professor Patrick McGorry AO and his team. The book traces excursions and treatment, leading to rehabilitation, and the group activities of the patients. In doing so, it has to deal with the trauma of refugees , the plight of homeless outcasts, and the developing Australian political scene. It is a compassionate and thought-provoking telling of the whole story.
