People with schizophrenia (which affect men and women equally) sometimes suffer from hallucinations, delusions, and imagined voices. Saks' remarkable new book is a voice from a country rarely heard from, the land of psychosis.

And Osnes's lovely, sculptured singing voice does struggle at times to get heard over the small but well-miked house band. But they perform all the dance moves required, don't have any trouble with...
