"The Mad Pride" is a revolutionary series of autobiographical stories about people's experiences of mental distress. The book hopes to be an inspiration to mental health activists in the United Kingdom. Featuring 24 writers boasting about wild things they've done when they've been losing it and sharing their accounts of liberation through madness, this collection celebrates madness in all its forms as a means to all-out social revolution. Tough, uncompromising, subversive and very funny, this is a book that no one in their right mind will read. It reveals that madness, normally considered an unglamorous subject, is in fact all about sex, drugs and rock'n'roll.
