Description
Fernando Balius's story is one of struggle and resilience. When he began to hear voices, his life spiralled out of control.
Depicted as a monster in the narrative, these inner voices worked to destroy his self-esteem and urge him to harm himself. Despite various psychiatric diagnoses and prescribed medications, Fernando found that they did more harm than good. It was only when he connected with others that he found the strength to survive.
Mario Pellejer's moving illustrations bring Fernando's remarkable story to life in this raw and uniquely hopeful graphic memoir. A powerful exploration of mental illness, community, and understanding, Traces of Madness encourages us all to push back against stigma and support those struggling with their minds.
