Book excerpt: **The reason this book is over £13 at only 80 pages in length is because it contains full color illustrations of each poem**GASLITBYAMADMAN, "The Certifiably TRUE Ravings Of A Sectioned Philosopher", is a droller take on the subjects of mental health, political issues and Nietzschean, Christian, Jungian, existentialist and post-modern philosophy. Don't be afraid to question your world view, don't be afraid to think you might be a bit 'mad'. Who isn't?It is based on the author, Max J. Lewy's, own experience as an oh-so-patient patient in the N.H.S. Mental Health System. Veritably knocked off his horse by two out-of-control, gaslighting shrinks at the tender age of 23, his writings trace his recovery from this life-changing, iatrogenic incident over the next 12 or so years, exploring the 'mad' identity that was placed upon him and the truly insane, or certainly very flawed and eye-brow raising System which so unfortunately often does such things to quite healthy and relatively rational people. This companion volume, released on his 36th (that's 6 x 6) birthday as a little gift (for "The Beast", presumably... but who knows, maybe Lucifer, maybe Jesus, maybe the old bearded madman at the end of the street with an "The Apocalypse Is Nigh" cardboard sign hung to the back of his bike.), contains 36 beautifully illuminated poems, in the manner of William Blake, only with modern-day collaged images from around the world wide web.
