Abstract
The article discusses the creation of the book "Leaving Home" by Mark Haddon, which explores themes such as family relationships, personal loss, and various interests like art and poetry. Haddon, who is also a visual artist, designed the book's cover, which reflects its tone and content. The memoir was submitted to publishers by Clare Alexander, who recognized its uniqueness amidst a market filled with generic works. The book was completed despite Haddon's struggles with brain fog due to long Covid, and it has been described as an extraordinary document by his publisher. [Extracted from the article]
