What surrounds him, speaks to him, rebellion of the characters from advertising, news, everyday life - everything means him, he is the center of the universe.

A glowing chronicle at the highest temperature. He leaves no embarrassment, names the shame that follows the mania: What did I do? Was that really me? How do you talk about yourself as an idiot? Melle writes about Melle, like an actor playing himself. Drama in a person in at least threefold edition: the manic ("the hooligan"), the depressive ("the corpse"), the temporarily healed, self-estranged and suspicious.
The disturbed is the disturbance in the system, which justifies the utility, usefulness and self-optimization: "There is a thesis that bipolarity is associated with another tendency to over-adapt: one wants to make one's fellow human beings right until they are slain is from all claims. Between these poles, overfitting and individuality rush, it bangs back and forth. "
