Author Description

Doctor Pluss is a work of fiction based on actual dialogues with schizophrenic patients, diabolically 'sane' psychotherapists, and well-meaning yet unerringly destructive social workers. It chronicles the descent of an eccentric, sardonic, and witty psychiatrist into what appears to be a state of complete madness. Written in an evocative, lyrical prose style, the tale achieves a magical life of its own as the narrative twists, turns, and accelerates along with the doctor's free fall into the self. Doctor Pluss demonstrates how ideation and speech may be surrealistically transformed into a 'broken language' delirium, which, despite its strangeness, remains eerily accessible.
