Sociopath
Are sociopaths monsters? Or just people so desperately lonely that it drives them to the brink of madness and crime?
He starts stealing before he can talk. Already in kindergarten, she knows she is different from other children, and at school she stabs a classmate in the head with a pencil. Patric Gagne sees, perceives and understands emotions - but does not feel them. Still, he wants to live like everyone else, so he tries to at least pretend to live a normal life. She babysits like a professional nanny. He's gonna study psychology. She becomes a therapist, a wife and a mother. But watching a roller coaster ride is not the same as riding it. Patric starts breaking into other people's houses and stealing cars just to feel something. Maybe in the morning before work or in the evening before her boyfriend gets home.
Patric Gagne is a high-functioning, stable sociopath. This is her open confession.
Lenka Čížková, responsible editor
"The Sociopath is a story about the search for truth, the desire for hope and the courage not to take the path of least resistance, to embrace one's own darkness and accept oneself. It will make you think about the line between 'normality' and 'madness'."
