Something's Up With Dad: Reading/Signing with Author Nitsan Tal

The Sparkle Bookstore

Let's talk about mental illness at home. Author Nitsan Tal will be at Sparkle Bookstore to discuss her memoir "Something's Up With Dad"

Nitsan's father Saul was brilliant and adventurous. He could talk to anyone about anything and seemed to have a bright future. Then came the hospitalizations. The disappearances. . . . Nitsan and her sister grew up with a front-row seats to their father's struggle with the disease tearing their family apart. Told with unflinching honesty, Something's Up with Dad is a gripping memoir about the impossible reality of bipolar disorder and the toll it takes on the people who long to help their loved ones through it.Nitsan Tal is a veterinarian, photographer, and film director. She grew up in Israel on a kibbutz and later moved to the United States. While practicing as a veterinarian in New York, she began taking classes in photography—a hobby she had enjoyed since her teens. One thing led to another, and in 2013, she directed her first documentary film: It Takes Balls. She has since directed three more documentaries. Something’s Up with Dad is her first book.
