Martin Amis's short story is written in the form of alternating diaries - Dan, a young man with early onset psychosis, and his uncle who is caring for him during the summer.  A fantastic exploration of notions of personal insight and theoretical insight – and the disparity between the two.

61-2 – Dan demonstrates theoretical insight into the symptoms of schizophrenia – 1) “Deviant pattern of receptor preferences” 2) “Repetitive and stereotyped behavioural patterns” 3) “Faulty depth perception … to her spatial relations are unstable and contingent” 4) “motor-normalcy loss and abrupt personality mutations” then follows with “time disperception, interprets humour as insult, excessive affection, hypomania”.
