Description
From the author of million-copy bestseller Flowers for Algernon , the shocking true story of the first person in US history to be found not guilty due to multiple personality disorder. ‘Fascinating’ LA Times ‘Absorbing’ Cosmopolitan Billy Milligan was a man tormented by twenty-four distinct personalities battling for supremacy – a battle that culminated when he awoke in jail, arrested for the kidnap and rape of three women. In a landmark trial, Billy was acquitted of his crimes by reason of insanity caused by multiple personality disorder – the first such court decision in history. Among the twenty-four are: Philip, a petty criminal; Kevin, who dealt drugs; April, whose only ambition was to kill Billy’s stepfather; Adalana, the shy, affection-starved lesbian who ‘used’ Billy’s body in the rapes that led to his arrest; David, the eight-year-old ‘keeper of the pain’; and the Teacher, the sum of all Billy’s alter egos fused into one. In The Minds of Billy Milligan , Daniel Keyes brings to light the most remarkable and harrowing case of multiple personality ever recorded. —- ISBN: 9781409163909 | ISBN10: 1409163903 | ISBN-13: 978-1409163909
