Mount Misery
We picked this one up in the english section of a bookstore in Copenhagen, Denmark, during a summer holiday in 2003. Next to enjoying the yearly Jazz Festival, we spend our evenings reading our newly acquired loot. In this story about a psychiatric hospital it seems the doctors and staff are even more screwed up than their patients. Dripping with irony you follow a group of people more concerned with keeping up the flow of insurance money and their own petty and not so petty problems than healing people.
