There, he meets an assortment of characters, his fellow patients, and narrates their hilarious, horrific and ultimately tragic stories as relayed to him by themselves. His conflicted feelings about being in the treatment facility, and keen curiosity with regard to the admission stories of his fellow patients, serve as the unfolding plot for his stay in the Psychiatric Ward. The protagonist agonises about what it means, to be adjudged mentally unwell, by a society whose very foundations seem to him unjust and unhealthy to the point of being bizarre. A story that seeks to explore what sets individual stories apart, how they converge and collide and ultimately, the dilemma of being alive in the world today, such as it is. A riveting tale about the struggle of a mental patient to wrestle hope from the deepest pit of despair."-- $c Back cover. 546 $a Text in English and Zulu. 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a Psychiatric hospital care $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Psychiatric hospital patients $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mentally ill $v Fiction. 650 0 $a South African fiction (English) $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Mentally ill. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01016699 650 7 $a Psychiatric hospital care. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01081013 650 7 $a Psychiatric hospital patients. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01081030 650 7 $a South African fiction (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01127180 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025855.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=563F46E0DCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
