“A young Italian man is involuntarily committed to a psychiatric ward in Mencarelli’s evocative work of autofiction, his English-language debut... Mencarelli captures Daniele’s muddled emotional state—a blend of shame, confusion, and chafing at restrictions—in powerful, compact scenes. With its bracing view of the hero’s interior world, this meditative novel viscerally excoriates the failings of his treatment.”
