Emma Forrest and Jon Ronson

Two authors explore aspects of madness in their recent nonfiction: Forrest fends off self-destruction through therapy (and, for a time, love) in her memoir Your Voice in My Head. Ronson, the author of The Men Who Stare at Goats and Them: Adventures with Extremists, comes to an understanding about unfeeling murderers and high-functioning members of society in The Psychopath Test.
