The Dead Soul Eyes

Luna. S

Sinopsis

This memoir is based on the true story of a woman named Luna, whose life was deeply impacted by alexithymia, a condition caused by untreated Complex PTSD. Her trauma stems from being a victim of the 1999 Poso conflict in Indonesia.

The narrative begins with her upbringing, marked by complex challenges: the struggle to adapt to a mixed socio-cultural environment, the neglect she endured before and after the conflict, and her eventual survival against these overwhelming odds. Her journey, one that few in Indonesia experience, leads her to develop alexithymia, a rare condition that affects emotional awareness and expression.

Through Luna's eyes, this book explores how her 'strangeness' in social interactions shaped her life decisions in ways most people would never imagine. Her unique condition, often misunderstood, becomes the lens through which we witness her resilience in the face of adversity.

Luna's story sheds light on the broader struggles faced by neurodivergent individuals – those often labelled as 'different' or 'useless' by societal standards. Her journey serves as an inspiration to anyone who has ever felt marginalized. It challenges the notion that the human right to live is sufficient; it calls for the right to be fully accepted and understood. Through Luna's experiences, readers will gain insight into how beauty and art can be perceived and expressed by someone whose emotional landscape is unlike the rest of us.

Following Shelley's untimely death in 2018, Autonomy is Diggle's definitive inside account of their shared musical legacy and complex friendship through the band's rise, fall, and rise again - from their punk origins supporting Sex Pistols with original singer Howard Devoto to Top of the Pops, the excess of success, break-up, reformation and life beyond bereavement. 
 
Funny, honest and touchingly philosophical, it is also Diggle's very personal story of working class escape, dreams, redemption and loss - an ultimately heroic survivor's tale from an irrepressible rock 'n' roll spirit.
