内容简介
Christopher (Kit) Lukas’s mother committed suicide when he
was a boy. He and his brother, Tony, were not told how she died. No
one spoke of the family’s history of depression and bipolar
disorder. The brothers grew up to achieve remarkable success; Tony
as a gifted journalist (and author of the classic book, Common
Ground), Kit as an accomplished television producer and
director. After suffering bouts of depression, Kit was able to
confront his family’s troubled past, but Tony never seemed to find
the contentment Kit had attained–he killed himself in 1997. Written
with heartrending honesty, Blue Genes captures the
devastation of this family legacy of depression and details the
strength and hope that can provide a way of escaping its
grasp.
