Literature and Fiction
"The Sum of His Syndromes" is a wry, odd, idiosyncratic
book. A collage of notes written in a sixth-floor men's
room, it is the story of a dissatisfied, slightly
disturbed young man named David who has found himself at a
personal and professional crossroads. He has a job he
hates, but cannot leave, and a girl he loves, but cannot
fully understand. With help from his friend, Peter, and
his therapist, the irrepressible Dr. Costa, he struggles
to make sense of his complicated young life. A fractured,
fragmented, unconventional narrative, "Syndromes" offers a
comic look at office angst, contemporary psychiatric
practice and romantic uncertainty. A conglomeration of
thoughts, observations, commentary, overheard
conversations and cameo appearances, its story - David and
Kate's story emerges surreptitiously from this innovative
presentation of a confused and chaotic time.
