Bughouse Blues - Peter Thompson

. .

Résumé :
This is a tale of a problematic girlfriend and a much greater quandary: which fork in the career path beckons the young hero? A story of horrible bosses in both directions, and a summer at a mental hospital hoping--amid violence and sloth--to make a difference.

Biographie:
Peter Thompson has taught in prep schools (hence the misadventures chronicled in the Harrison Rhodes novels) for 18 years, and in college for 23. After early work on Antonin Artaud, L?on-Paul Fargue, and G?rard de Nerval, his research has centered on the N?gritude movement and on African heritage literature.

Sommaire:
A poignant exploration of sanity, madness, and the search for purpose within the walls of a mental institution.

Harrison Rhodes, a young psychiatric health worker, grapples with career choices and moral dilemmas during a summer at a New England mental hospital. Amidst the chaos and disillusionment, he encounters eccentric patients and struggles to make a difference in their lives.

As Rhodes navigates the complexities of institutional life, he questions his own sanity and purpose. Will he find meaning in his work, or will the weight of the bughouse blues crush his spirit? Perfect for readers seeking thought-provoking literary fiction with psychological depth.
