Presented by KPFA Radio 94.1FM, Hosted by Thomas Farber
My Brain On Fire is Leonard Pitt's story of growing up as a total misfit in Detroit in the 1940s and 50s. In 1962, at the end of a misguided foray towards a career in advertising, he took the ultimate cure - a trip to Paris. There in the City of Light, Leonard's mind exploded. And it hasn't stopped since.
From start to finish, Pitt's memoir is a lively autodidactic romp through a life well-lived in both mind and body. -- Kirkus
