Translated for the first time into English, cult German author Rainald Goetz`s debut novel Insane draws upon his clinical psychiatric experience to paint a portrait of the asylum as a total institution. We follow a young psychiatrist, Dr Raspe, who enters the profession dreaming of revolutionising its practices. Confronted by day-to-day practices & the reality of life in the psychiatric hospital, Raspe begins to fray at the edges. The very concept of madness is called into question in a brutal portrayal of patients & psychiatrists & the various treatments administered, from psychotherapy to electroshock therapy. What is madness? & who is truly mad? Diving headlong into a terrifying & oppressive world, INSANE is a veritable journey into the madhouse by one of Germany`s most prominent & contentious authors. ...

” One of the most important voices in contemporary American journalism.” (Independent).” Matt Taibbi is one of the few journalists in America who speaks truth to power.” (Bernie Sanders).” Matt Taibbi is the best polemic journalist in America.” (Felix Salmon).” The thing is, when you actually think about it, it`s not funny. Given what`s at stake, it`s more like the opposite, like the first sign of the collapse of the United States as a global superpower. Twenty years from now, when we`re all living like prehistory hominids & hunting rats with sticks, we`ll probably look back at this moment as the beginning of the end.” In this groundbreaking battery of dispatches from the heartland of America, Matt Taibbi tells the full story of the Trump phenomenon, from its tragi-comic beginnings to the apocalyptic election. Full of sharp, on-the-ground reporting & gallows humour, his incisive analysis goes beyond the bizarre & disturbing election to tell a wider story of the apparent collapse of American democracy. Taibbi saw the essential themes right from the start: the power of spectacle over truth; the end of a shared reality on the left & right; the nihilistic rebellion of the white working class; the death of the political establishment; & the emergence of a new, explicit form of white nationalism. From the thwarted Bernie Sanders insurgency to the aimless Hillary Clinton campaign, across the flailing media coverage & the trampled legacy of Obama, this is the story of ordinary voters forced to bear witness to the whole charade. At the centre of it all, ”A bumbling train wreck of a candidate who belched & preened his way past a historically weak field” who, improbably, has taken control of the world`s most powerful nation. This is essential & hilarious reading that explores how the new America understands itself, & about the future of the world just beyond the horizon. ...
