The Sweet Smell Of Psychosis by Will Self
A young London journalist is seduced by the drug-fueled glamour and ruthless opportunism of the media scene, sliding from detached observer to complicit participant in its cruelty and manipulation. As parties blur into work and spectacle replaces truth, his ambition curdles into paranoia and self-disgust, revealing a culture corroded by misogyny, ego, and the chase for ratings. Darkly comic and caustic, it charts a swift descent into moral and mental disarray.
