Wanda Waffle is a single mother of twins. In order to get any help from her ex-husband, she would first have to obtain an advanced degree in crypto zoology. In case you don't know what that is, it is the study of creatures that do not exist, like Big Foot, Sasquatch, the Abominable Snowman, the Yeti, the Chupacabra, the Loch Ness Monster, the Thunder Bird, the Jersey Devil, and Willie Waffle, her fugitive ex-husband who, much like D. B. Cooper, might as well not exist because he couldn't be found. Wanting to make a better life for her children, she moves from the East Village in Manhattan to the small Victorian coastal town named Big Water, where during a period of unemployment in the 1970's she starts to write a book out of sheer desperation. Thirty years later she finds the old manuscript in a trunk. It was written at a time of rampant unemployment, a falling dollar, and high gas prices. It sounded just like today!

In the mid-1800s, a utopian movement to rehabilitate the insane resulted in a wave of publicly funded asylums—many of which became unexpected centers of cultural activity. Housed in magnificent structures with lush grounds, patients participated in theatrical programs, debating societies, literary journals, schools, and religious services. Theaters of Madness explores both the culture these rich offerings fomented and the asylum’s place in the fabric of nineteenth-century life, reanimating a time when the treatment of the insane was a central topic in debates over democracy, freedom, and modernity. Benjamin Reiss explores the creative lives of patients and the cultural demands of their doctors. Their frequently clashing views turned practically all of American culture—from blackface minstrel shows to the works of William Shakespeare—into a battlefield in the war on insanity. Reiss also shows how asylums touched the lives and shaped the writing of key figures, such as Emerson and Poe, who viewed the system alternately as the fulfillment of a democratic ideal and as a kind of medical enslavement. Without neglecting this troubling contradiction, Theaters of Madness prompts us to reflect on what our society can learn from a generation that urgently and creatively tried to solve the problem of mental illness.
