Overview
Diagnosed as bipolar at twenty-three, a young journalist struggles for a decade, fighting a cycle of depression and euphoria. In this unique journey, we visit former loves and eccentric fellow sufferers, mental health institutions and Benares. We relive his moments with Diana Eck and Deepika Padukone-and his reckonings with past wounds. Part confession, part joyride and wholly enjoyable, this riveting debut announces a formidable new talent. Nevatia is a master storyteller, empathetic, intelligent and witty. Here is the story of owning your narrative, no matter how difficult and complicated it is. Here is How to Travel Light.
