Juliann Garey
In her tour-de-force first novel, Juliann Garey takes us inside the restless mind, ravaged heart, and anguished soul of Greyson Todd, a successful Hollywood studio executive who leaves his wife and young daughter and for a decade travels the world giving free reign to the bipolar disorder he's been forced to keep hidden for almost 20 years.
The novel intricately weaves together three timelines: the story of Greyson's travels (Rome, Israel, Santiago, Thailand, Uganda); the progressive unraveling of his own father seen through Greyson's eyes as a child; and the intimacies and estrangements of his marriage. The entire narrative unfolds in the time it takes him to undergo 12 30-second electroshock treatments in a New York psychiatric ward. This is a literary page-turner of the first order, and a brilliant inside look at mental illness.

What did you love best about Too Bright to Hear Too Loud to See?
Greyson's character was so direct, edgy, flippant, vulnerable, intellectual, intimate, enraged, generous and, yes, well, manic. I just kept thinking, he's smart and amazingly successful and resourceful - so can he overcome himself?What was one of the most memorable moments of Too Bright to Hear Too Loud to See?
The Kampala adventure. Whoa, that was brave. I've been to those places, but not like that and not so close to the core.What does Dan Butler bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Dan Butler brought the perfect attitude, accent and timing to the story. I will look for more of his narrations.If you could take any character from Too Bright to Hear Too Loud to See out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Any additional comments?
The story compelled me to continue listening even though, at times, I wanted to return the book. I really wanted to hear and make sense of what was happening. Parts of the story was awful and sad. I've never, to my knowledge, encountered a person with such emotional strife. One reviewer said "A gripping tale of a man's unraveling." Nothing can sum up this book better. I appreciated the ending and was truly in tears. I'm glad I listened to the book because I believe that my understanding of mental illness has quite expanded.I wanted to stop listening!
