Schizophrenia Diaries

Had this book (two 450 page volumes) self-published, but distributed only to a couple of dozen people. People who just glimpse through it find no difficulty. People who get really involved with it find it difficulty, and some won’t comment back.
Hard for me to assess reaction, except a lot of people say it’s all in the head – which is the point. A schizophrenic’s impression of philosophy. Especially Immanuel Kant Categorical Imperative, which augments the psychosis of the main character Penny, when she tries to live up to its principles. Book traces her journey from being ’sexually harassed’ by minor professors, through the penal and psychiatric system; relates schizophrenia to trauma. A journey of self-discovery through mental recall. A lot of philosophy. Character imagines in Chapter 12 she is going to be the New Eve, imitating Christ’s passion through the penal system. etc. Maybe Menippean Satire!! Poetry and Prose.
Discussions of philosophical paradoxes like self-reference – all of these related to the delusion that affects the central character.
Difficult reading, said one gentlemen, but I kept going, and it was worth it!!!!!
