Fast-paced, frenetic, and unapologetically blunt, the novel takes the hero through a bout with psychosis that lasts for several months, during which he is jailed and transfered (5150'ed) to the mental hospital, where he remains until his psychotic episode dies down. Likened to William Burroughs' Naked Lunch and Sylvia Plath's Bell Jar, the novel is a profound portrait of the ravages of mental illness told from the point of view of the person suffering. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brenda Knight, Duncan MacLeod\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1506186459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781506186450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/27\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.39d","brand":"Brenda Knight","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46721320452351,"sku":"9781506186450","price":16.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9a25cb0c-a1dc-4b1a-91ce-e1c7458a161f.jpg?v=1742752510","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/5150-brenda-knight-9781506186450","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
