The Best Minds

 THE BEST MINDS: A STORY OF FRIENDSHIP, MADNESS AND THE TRAGEDY OF GOOD INTENTIONS written and read by Jonathan Rosen

Jonathan Rosen’s THE BEST MIND: A STORY OF FRIENDSHIP, MADNESS, AND THE TRAGEDY OF GOOD INTENTIONS is a long memoir but is engaging on so many levels whether you read or listen to the author’s audio. The writing is stellar, the detailing painting a literary picture that is easy to enter. The story itself is compelling and the layers of friendship through which Rosen sees are complex and this perspective with which he writes of Michael Laudor’s success and then tragedy. The way he invites readers to question systems of mental illness are as potent as the story he relates. You can find audio and book at the Indy link below.
