As he straddles his past and present he must decide if the time has come to work through the pain and trauma and reclaim the life he has worked to forget. In the end Denis must wage war on his monsters, which ultimately means finally seeing that they are entirely of his creation, that they are facets of his own self.
A worthy winner of the Luke Bitmead Bursary, Dan Murphy Mooney has crafted a story of the strongest kind, that is, one that holds the power to prompt thought and dialogue. And this is a story much needed. Casting light on the reality of living with mental illness and distress, ''Me Myself and Them'' offers a wealth of understanding and empathy for professionals and the general public alike. Absolutely read it, share it, and discuss it.
The Luke Bitmead Bursary tends to highlight reads that are thought provoking. To sample another consider the 2012 winner [[Sleeping Patterns by JR Crook]].
