Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s novella, ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’.
I don’t use recreational drugs, but while reading it about four years ago, I imagine the way it made me feel must be what it might be like to be high on hallucinogenic drugs.
All at once bizarre, maddening, fascinating, psychotic, trance-like, colorful yet drab, and mind-bending, yet I couldn’t stop reading it despite its occasional tendency to make me recoil.
Well written, and a wild ride. Highly recommended!
