DESCRIPTION:Join us for Sparta Library's Book Talk.  This month&#039
 ;s selection is:  Girl, Interruptedby Sussanna KaysenIn 1967, after a se
 ssion with a psychiatrist she'd never seen before, eighteen-year-old 
 Susanna Kaysen was put in a taxi and sent to McLean Hospital. She spent mo
 st of the next two years on the ward for teenage girls in a psychiatric ho
 spital as renowned for its famous clientele--Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell, 
 James Taylor, and Ray Charles--as for its progressive methods of treating 
 those who could afford its sanctuary.Kaysen's memoir encompasses horr
 or and razor-edged perception while providing vivid portraits of her fello
 w patients and their keepers. It is a brilliant evocation of a "paral
 lel universe" set within the kaleidoscopically shifting landscape of 
 the late sixties. "Girl, Interrupted" is a clear-sighted, unflin
 ching document that gives lasting and specific dimension to our definition
 s of sane and insane, mental illness, and recovery.
