Going Mental: Essays on the Fringe

Going Mental: Essays on the Fringe

Speer Morgan
5/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Are we capable of cultivating sustained contentment in our lifetime? In a world where new illnesses and fears pop up daily, the best writers in contemporary literature have asked, examined, and considered this question through a range of creative approaches. We are proud to present seventeen essays on sadness and madness, happiness and illness, and so much more, in our new anthology of creative nonfiction: Going Mental: Essays on the Fringe.

This new anthology showcases seventeen essays from our finest contributors in our thirty-five-year history. David Zoby’s “Leftovers” explores the rush of youthful exuberance when faced with the demands of family at the holidays. Christopher Wall’s “Look Up, Look Down” asks if suicide can be contagious after a string of intentional deaths occur at New York University. Floyd Skloot’s “Wild in the Woods: Confession of a Demented Man” attempts to understand his own behavior after a brain virus causes dementia. Other essays in the anthology are by Rachel Riederer, Christopher Wall, Tracy Crow, Jerald Walker, Lauren Slater, Tom Ireland, and many more.
