Cliënt E. Busken

Old E. Busken sits tied into a wheelchair in a locked psychiatric unit he never chose, mute and perhaps going deaf. Yet he notices everything, and silently he mocks the carers and his fellow patients without mercy. The book covers one day there, while his mind lurches from anger and futile rebellion through blurred recollections to grandiose fantasies, in a stream of coined words and wild sentences that places the reader inside his skull.
