Book excerpt: Madness and Insanity is the story of David a recent graduate and embarrassment to his father. After an untimely arrest he is exiled to Manchester, England, a place notorious for its culture of drunken fornication and music. There, David is assimilated into an eccentric group of international students and swept into a farcical lifestyle of drugs, casual sex and indifference. David terms this lifestyle Madness and Insanity and begins flirting with its extremes, ultimately finding himself planning the robbery of a scientific lab to win the affection of an aloof, lab assistant he fancies. Faced with the debacle of the robbery and the increasing role of drugs and alcohol in his life, David quixotically embarks on an adventure to come to grips with Madness and Insanity. He searches for its meaning in a escalating combination of drugs, alcohol and self-deprivation that nearly kills him. He ends up however, discovering something quite unexpected.
