Schizonoia: a story that could have happened

By Pieter Wouter Broekharst

Schizonoia is a novel. Not a psychiatric-scientific treatise. When Marin is 15 years old, he sees his father die on the football field from a cardiac arrest. This trauma causes psychosis and pursuit delusions in later life, which makes madness events as blood-curdling reality. He creates his own reality, and the contact with reality is then lost for a short time. When Marin's dominant mother seeks refuge from a deeply believing church community after the sudden death of his non-believer father, Marin decides to live independently. When Marty comes to live next door to him, a serious relationship develops with her, which slowly but surely brings him into more balance. But first Marin still has a long way to go with a series of terrifying experiences. Psychoses do not always cause events of a bizarre nature. But it's possible And that tells "Schizonoia".
