Love and Other Gods Adventures Through Psychosis

Michael was always taken by the idea of love, a deep longing for what he believed to be the purpose of life. His desire manifested itself in various ways: for his family, for his friends, and for Anjali, the girl he meets at college. But as his love blossoms for her, it reveals something inside him. Vivid hallucinations take hold of him, the world shifting and blurring, and Michael no longer knows what is real and what is not. A journey through the spiritual lands of his people, a brief moment of hospitalization, and a diagnosis of bipolar all lead Michael to where he is now. Love and Other Gods takes a man through his journey of love.

Michael Langla was a Researcher and Radio Producer at the BBC for more than a decade until he was diagnosed with being Bipolar. Love and Other Gods is his debut work of memoir/fiction.
