The Insanity of Freedom - Paperback

by Edward Cascone (Author)

Ben Rhodes is an artist on the run from war, from the past, from himself. As a conscientious objector, he seeks asylum in Canada, where he paints to survive, to forget, to breathe. But during this turbulent time of the late 1960's where free love, revolution, and raw ambition run rampant, forgetting is inevitable. The memories of New York, the heat of youthful desire, and the thrill of rebellion pulse through his veins.

From wild trysts in candlelit lofts to festivals drenched in music and LSD, Ben moves through a landscape where love is currency and freedom is fleeting and decisions leave a scar on the soul. As he straddles the line between genius and madness, he must confront the question that haunts him, how can he obtain true freedom, or is freedom an illusion?

The Insanity of Freedom is a fever dream of art, lust, and self-destruction. A visceral, unflinching ride through the counterculture era, this novel thrums with the ache of youth and the allure of the forbidden.
