Madness, All Over Again
by Fabian Garcia


Milo is an inpatient at the Bellevue Psychiatric Institute & Hospital. He is clever, verbose, and wants absolutely nothing to do with the world outside—but doesn’t seem to want much to do with anything inside, either. He and his chatty roommate form a reluctant alliance to catch one of the nurses in the act of creeping into their room, presumably for nefarious purposes. What follows is a quick, well-paced, and witty story—touching, playful, and a little manic, like its fascinating protagonist. A funny, poignant, and hard-to-put-down read about honesty, human connection, and what it means to be “mentally sound.”

Fabian Garcia is a current PhD student and former diplomat with an extensive educational background and international experience across multiple countries and continents. Madness, All Over Again is his debut novel, succeeding the publication of two Spanish-language short story collections: Casa de fieras (2016) and El ojo de agua (2019). When he’s not studying, writing, or pondering how we understand—and construct—our reality, Fabian enjoys the outdoors and playing chess. Fabian lives in Ontario, Canada, with his wife and their two children.
