Madness, All Over Again

Milo is an inpatient at the Bellevue Psychiatric Institute & Hospital. He is clever, verbose, and wants absolutely nothing to do with the world outside—but doesn’t seem to want much to do with anything inside, either. He and his chatty roommate form a reluctant alliance to catch one of the nurses in the act of creeping into their room, presumably for nefarious purposes. What follows is a quick, well-paced, and witty story—touching, playful, and a little manic, like its fascinating protagonist.

A funny, poignant, and hard-to-put-down read about honesty, human connection, and what it means to be “mentally sound.”
