Madness and Youth Pt. 1 (ePub)

Breaking away from Society is a painful experience. Going through that in the tricky age when you're still trying to figure out the world and your place in it is almost tragic. And the Young Man feels that wit every part of his being. Unsure why, he starts feeling awkward around most people in his life, including his own father. His parents have been divorced for quite some time, so he knew it wasn't that. "So what is it," he would wonder. "What is going on?" More and more, he becomes alienated from the world he lives in, drifting off into long nights alone with his haunting thoughts. Why, what, where, when... Until his father utters the words, out of the clear blue sky, for no reason, "I would never harm you." Almost instantly, he spirals into a world of hidden memories and thoughts and experiences. Will he survive, will he come out the same, or will the Young Man fall into the madness of youth and carry on living as a dead man?

In this great novel, Wolf brings us into the mind of a young man still in adolescence, doing everyone his age is doing--trying to make sense of it all. But unlike any other coming of age or young adult novel, this masterpiece will lure you into a world of experiences. You will feel the pain and anguish of the Young Man; you will feel his joy; but what sets this book apart is the look into the psyche of us humans and makes us experience thoughts. The mind is a complex thing, but this book shows how the mind works, it explains through the Young Man's powerful inner monologues, even when his mind starts slipping.

Facts and folly, magic and realism, literary brilliance and a powerful message, are all weaved together in this book, told in lyrical sentences, powerful monologues, and realistic dialogues that will make you feel this world. We all see it, we all live it, but this book shows how the world feels in the mind of a young man. Even at an older age, it can't be said that much has changed. This sort-of-dystopian piece of magical literary fiction is a must-read. It's a book you won't put down except to contemplate. And it's on its way to becoming a literary classic. Get this book. You will not regret it.
