In 2011 Patrick and Henry Cockburn’s ‘Henry’s Demons: Living with Schizophrenia, A Father and Son’s Story’ was released to general acclaim. ‘There is poetry in this prose’, said one reviewer, ‘the bipolarity of misery and exaltation that Blake understood’. At this event Patrick and Henry will share with an audience their years of struggle that led up to their writing of this book, and all that has happened since.
