Schizophrene traces the intersections of migration and mental illness as they unfold in post-Partition diasporic communities. Bhanu Kapil brings forward the question of a healing narrative and explores trauma and place through a somatic, poetic, and cross-cultural psychiatric enquiry.

Who was here? Who will never be here? Who has not yet arrived and never will?

Towards an arrival without being, this notebook-book returns a body to a site, the shards re-forming in mid-air: for an instant.
