Debut author Michael Richmond addressed a well-packed audience at Woolfson & Tay this evening. Sharing his personal experiences of depression, Michael recounted how he was homebound for 2 years not so long ago. In conversation with Christopher Somerville,  Michael spoke frankly about his battle with mental illness, his impressions of the treatment process and his road to recovery, interspersed with readings of excerpts from his compelling and highly regarded first novel Sisyphusa. He fielded questions from the audience, many of whom later told us how inspired they were by Michael's story. Thank you Michael for your courage and honesty, and to Christopher for facilitating a beautiful event.
