Out of Madness is a 2024 Psychological Thriller/ Dark Comedy novel by Indian author Rithwik Aryan ^[1], published by BluOne Ink. Known for its realistic and satirical portrayal of mental health, identity and scandal, the novel is Aryan's debut work and has drawn comparisons to literary classics like Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov and The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger.

Aryan dropped out of Harvard and spent 18 months in two of India's most dangerous mental asylums^[2]- The Central Institute of Psychiatry in Ranchi and the Agra Mental Asylum to conduct research for Out of Madness. This allowed him to bring an authentic and intense portrayal of mental health issues and the asylum environment to the novel. His time in these institutions contributed to the hyper-realistic and gritty undertones of the narrative.^[3]

Plot

The novel centers around Mason Moron, a 24 year old Assistant Professor of Psychology at Nalanda University, who, after discovering his wife's infidelity stages his own death and disappears. Seeking refuge from his former life, he becomes entangled with Bahubali, a former politician turned madman artist determined to create an erotic masterpiece. As Mason's life spirals further into chaos, he is eventually institutionalized in a mental asylum, where he meets the famous actress Miss Staci, who is struggling with morphine addiction. The story unfolds through a mix of darkly comedic and dramatic events, exploring themes of betrayal, insanity and redemption.
