In case the voices return, by Ángel Martín, has become the revelation book of this last quarter of the year: in just two weeks more than 100,000 copies have been published and it is now in its sixth edition. Since its publication date, November 17, this title has been on the best-seller list and all opinions, both from readers and the press, have been very positive.
Chapter after chapter, the presenter and comedian Ángel Martín offers us a surprising testimony about madness. A first-person story about what it means to get lost and have to rebuild yourself from scratch. It all started in 2017 when the author suffered a psychotic break that forced him to be admitted to the psychiatric ward for two weeks, even having to remain tied to the bed. His time in the hospital, how it affected him and the attitude of those around him are some of the topics he addresses in In case the voices return. With a direct style free of sentimentality, he will stir us, also through humor and irony, providing exciting reflections.
In the author’s words:
«I have no idea when my madness began to form.
Maybe I was born genetically predisposed.
Maybe I was macerating a depression by keeping certain things to myself so as not to worry others.
Or maybe there are simply brains that grow overnight and it’s over.
“You don’t need to hit rock bottom to rebuild yourself from scratch.”
«If I have discovered something in all this time, it is that when you openly say that you have lost your mind, people immediately label it taboo. Although I have written this book for myself, in case the voices return, it is for anyone who has gone through or is going through something similar, and thus break the stigma of mental illness once and for all.
