Memoirs From the Asylum

(All Things That Matter Press) Weene draws the readers inside the world of state hospitals and asylums and into the minds of three central characters: a narrator who takes refuge from his fears of the world, a damaged psychiatrist, and a catatonic schizophrenic who is trapped inside her own world. The story is both a tragedy and a comedy, and explores the nature of futility, frustration, and freedom. Weene is a psychologist.
