A Mild Form of Madness

By Robbie Rimsky

Walton Street Publishing?s recently released first title, A Mild Form of Madness, focuses on the tale of a working class family from Chicago, and in doing so weaves together the fabric of the city?s diverse neighborhoods across generations. That said, it is an extremely dense, Chicago-centric piece, offering an unfettered glimpse into the lives of an array of Chicago-based characters, many of which we may pass by on a daily basis, often failing to notice their authentic beauty, or lack thereof. The book also deals with themes including: poverty, globalization, the ever-disappearing Chicago-based blue collar industry and the associated effects on middle-class families, education for profit, respecting elders and their acquired wisdom, violence against women and the degradation of traditional values. At its core, this is a story about self-corruption, over-consumption, taking responsibility for yourself, and doing exactly what you believe in. It tells a story through a man who believes in living before you die. If you are looking for a good read that will hit you in your heart and mind, while at the same time offering up some timely laughs at the daily madness that is life in Chicago, feel free to dive in to A Mild Form of Madness?it won?t disappoint.
