This collection is a celebration of mad culture indicating that the Madpride movement is alive and well in the UK. Tough, uncompromising, subversive and very funny, this is an anthology of the accounts of 24 authors and the experience of madness.

Excellent fun but with a serious political undertone, it's one of the most important mental health books of its generation.
