Default Setting: A Nervous Breakdown
by Will Green
Default Setting: A Nervous Breakdown is a raw, darkly humorous and semi-autobiographical account of addiction, heartbreak and mental collapse. At twenty-nine, Edward Staten is already coming apart. Reeling from the end of a relationship and unable to cope with the life left behind, he turns to alcohol and drugs in a desperate attempt to escape himself. What follows is a chaotic descent through relapse, trouble with the law and psychiatric care as Edward searches for relief from a mind that refuses to let him rest. Unflinching, painfully honest and threaded with gallows humour, Default Setting explores what happens when every means of escape only leads you further into yourself.
