Abstract
My thesis, The Games We Played, is a novel about what happens to a family when its patriarch goes insane. The book is an autobiographical novel that follows the Howard family as they struggle to redefine themselves in the shadow of the father’s mental illnesses. Each chapter is a different game, and though the book is chronological, the stories within each chapter fit thematically with the game. | My thesis, The Games We Played, is a novel about what happens to a family when its patriarch goes insane.
