Mothtown
2023 • 360 pages

Carolina does a superb work of illustrating mental illness from the inside in Mothtown, on an endeavour not dissimilar from Doris Lessing's Briefing for a Descent into Hell. I have not read it as genre-bending (as I initially expected), but a piercing, brutally honest depiction of a man's unreliably narrated descent into madness.
