From McNally Robinson:

Novelist John Sedgwick bases his novels in the world of Boston privilege that he knows well as a member of one of the oldest families in America; his most famous relative was the Andy Warhol “It” girl Edie Sedgwick. But his family legacy is also one of depression and mental illness, which Sedgwick explores in this memoir of family, history, and his own struggle with madness.
