Epilogue

Отрывок из книги

It was a gloomy morning. The clouds were gray and heavy. A cold wind blew, slightly rustling with maple leaves. Autumn was late this year. The ground was cold and moist, gray-black rotten leaves covered the ground.

On the hill of St. Mary, stood an old abandoned psychiatric hospital. Large stone building made of white brick. Large windows had massive bars to prevent patients from escaping from there.

.....

Vincent Berker has been in the hospital for six months, he has schizophrenia. Berker’s drawings are the world that he sees. That otherworldly reality that can only be reached under the influence of LSD and other hallucinogenic drugs. Otto Simion practices lobotomy; with it, patient behavior changes. Simion has more than 1000 experiments on patients. The experiments were very different from circumcision and sewing on body parts to lobotomy.

November 25, 1963.
