Robert Oxnam was president of the Asia Society, a China scholar, companion to Rockefellers, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet — a man of gold-plated resume and accomplishment. He was also and still is a classic case of “multiple personality disorder.”

Behind the facade of Robert Oxnam there was a public figure, boiled Bobby, Tommy, Baby, Robbey, a witch, a librarian — eleven personalities in all. They rollerbladed, cheated, menaced, moaned. Their battle, born in childhood trauma, almost killed him. He survived, and now tells his story.
