Product Description

A nightmarish vision balanced by wit, tenderness, and a passionate sense of humanity

Recalling Franz Kafka at his darkest, this poignant novella about a damaged individual and his bid for freedom from an inhuman mental health system is the literary equivalent to Breaking the Waves with a taste of One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest thrown in for good measure. Taking the reader inside the head of a persecuted man wrongly imprisoned in a mental hospital, the horrors of institutional life as well as the struggle for identity that accompanies them are outlined with heartbreaking detail and insight. As tortured hero Wil breaks for freedom from the brutal psychiatric regime, he is confronted with unexpected choices. Who can he trust: an alluring voice from his childhood dreams? Or a big-hearted nurse who reassures him, "not all of these places are the same."
