In a posh mental institution upstate, Carter bides his time between electroshock treatments trying to figure out where it all went wrong. A longtime alcoholic, he is desperate to get better, but feels worse every day—perhaps because he suspects that his wife and best friend are having an affair. But Carter has no clue how depraved his friends have actually become. Nymphomaniacs, adulterers, killers, and thieves, they have succumbed to every temptation.
“Grotesque, truthful, and awesome. One electric shock after another.” —New York Herald Tribune |
