I'll tell you what happened because it will be a good way to introduce my brother. His name's Simon. I think you're going to like him. I really do. But in a couple of pages he'll be dead. And he was never the same after that.
Brave and groundbreaking, The Shock of the Fall is an extraordinary portrait of a young man's descent into mental illness.
