作品簡介
全書分做兩個軸線和十五個章節，以各種瘋癲配角，搭配幻覺、催眠等魔幻情節，一步一步的深入患有思覺失調症的主角童年，赤裸裸的把他生命中的暴力一層層剝開，直至最核心的那一個事件：主角心愛的寵物「小雞」被家人毫不在意的煮來吃掉。 在回到這一天後，主角成了一個麻木的布偶、被瘋癲病友們宣佈治癒。主角的姊姊總把小雞的事當做笑話來說，有天她帶著女兒來接主角出院，小女孩想殺了這個曾對她暴力相向的人，沒想真正傷害她的卻是那位重來無視於別人感受的母親，女孩失望的殺了母親離去，仿彿繼承了舅舅的命運。 本書令讀者透過故事的發展去趨近患者的狀態，它赤裸的展現暴力的本身，及社會對暴力源頭的忽視，並以暴力的無限迴圈去展現這個令人絕望的處境。然而如此沉重的題材，Pam Pam一如往常的發揮她的黑色幽默，令讀者發笑又發冷。
The story follows a new patient who enters residential care at the suggestion of his sister. With his hand bandaged, and clinging to the idea that “I'll be out of here before you know it,” he begins to adapt to his surroundings and get to know his fellow patients. He meets a middle-aged man so terrified of life he hopes to never leave the facility, a former entertainment reporter never stops mumbling celebrity gossip, and a teen who struggles with gender identity and social ostracization. Though they appear “crazy” at first glance, each harbors a secret trauma that drives their behaviors, including our reticent protagonist. Ten years in the making, A Trip to the Asylum incorporates author Pam Pam Liu's personal experiences as well was extensive research into the literature of mental illness, including works such as Erving Goffman's Asylums: Essays on the Social Situation of Mental Patients and Other Inmates and Bessel van der Kolk's The Body Keeps the Score: Mind, Brain, and Body in the Healing of Trauma. With its indy comic aesthetic, absurd humor, and fast pacing, A Trip to the Asylum delivers deep issues in an entertaining package, bringing mental illness out of the shadows and into the realm of relatable, everyday interactions.
