Fernando Balius is a philosopher and a contingent worker. He has taken part in various social movements over the last two decades, about the same amount of time that he has been considering the relationship between madness and society. His favorite place to think is on a bike. Mario Pellejer describes himself as a “graphic storyteller” rather than an illustrator. He uses simple drawings full of symbolism to tell genuine stories as a way of contributing something of value to the world.

Reviews for Traces of Madness: A Graphic Memoir

“An emotionally and intellectually gripping account of one voice-hearer’s painful but life-affirming journey through a discouraging, ineffective mental health system—and the conflicted reactions of loved ones—toward growing understanding and acceptance. The heartbreaking but inspiring honesty and the simple but vivid graphics are, in combination, truly magnificent.” —John Read,coeditor of Models of Madness: Psychological, Social and Biological Approaches to Psychosis “The captivating text and images contained within this important book convey an often maligned and misunderstood human experience with profound insight and touching honesty. I loved it.” —Jacqui Dillon,coeditor of Living with Voices
