Eine echt verrückte Story

Rate this book
Genau wie so viele Teens in New York sieht auch Craig Gillner die Aufnahme in die Manhattan Executive Pre-Professional High School als Ticket in die Zukunft an. Doch als er den Aufnahmetest bestanden hat, beginnen seine Selbstzweifel, immer stärker zu werden. Schließlich, als es für ihn nur noch die Alternative Selbstmord gibt, weist er sich selbst in die Psychiatrie ein. Und genau dort, wo es niemand vermuten würde, in Gesellschaft einer Gruppe von seltsamen Menschen um seinen ägyptischen Zimmernachbarn, der sich seit Jahren weigert, sein Bett zu verlassen, einen chassidischen Juden, der an den Folgen zu heftigen Acid-Genusses leidet und eines sexsüchtigen Transsexuellen, findet Craig zurück zu alten längst vergessenen Stärken.
