An Ordinary Lunacy
Author: Gerald Schoenewolf
Publisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781450535960
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
Virgil, an aspiring New York artist and desperate nerd, meets Lila, a beautiful visitor from Eastern Europe with a mysterious flaw. He bumbles his way to her heart, but is handicapped by his phobia of beautiful women, which causes him to have a "kissing reflex," a malady that compels him to hastily kiss and have sex with a beautiful woman in order to allay his neurotic fears of rejection. Despite his handicap he succeeds in getting Lila to bed, whereupon she turns out not to be as beautiful as he thought. His despair at seeing her "birth defect" mortifies him, which in turn offends Lila and causes her to run off to Paradise Island. He follows her there and attempts to humbly apologize, but he is rebuffed again. Finally, after yelling at his mother during her misbegotten visit to New York, Virgil calms down and reaches a point of "temporary sanity," whereby he is able to engage in more mature conversation with Lila and show her his caring and generous side by painting her bathroom metallic gold, magenta, and green. Somehow all ends happily in the end. This is a romantic comedy like Something About Mary.

The Poor Law of Lunacy
Author: Peter Bartlett
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 0718501047
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
Most historians portray 19th-century county asylums as the exclusive realm of the asylum doctor, but Bartlett (law, U. of Nottingham) argues that they should be thought of as an aspect of English poor law, in which the medical superintendent had remarkably little power. He examines the place of the county asylum movement in the midcentury poor law debates and its legal and administrative regimes. Taking the Leicestershire asylum as a case study, he explores the role of poor law officers in admission processes, and relations between them and the staff and inspectors.
