What is there is only a limited amount of sanity in the world and the real reason people go mad is because "somebody" has to?

These are the sort of truths that emerge in this collection of stories by one of England's most gifted writers. In "The Quantity Theory of Insanity," Will Self tips over the banal surfaces of everyday existence to uncover the hideous, the hilarious, and the bizarre. Psychiatry, anthropology, theology--and literature--will never be the same.
