About this Book

With the same prickly, poignant humor that distinguished his "brave and astonishing" (Mirabella) debut, Jim Knipfel recounts his six month stay in a Minneapolis mental institution. Offering readers belly laughs and shades of Samuel Beckett, Jim Knipfel is a "born storyteller" (Thomas Pynchon) who brings a radical new voice to the psychological-memoirist ranks.
