The Normals by David Gilbert
A wry, darkly comic novel about a young man who signs up as a paid “normal” subject in a psychiatric drug trial and becomes drawn into the eccentric community, rigid routines, and moral ambiguities of the study; as friendships, rivalries, and a romantic entanglement develop, the experience exposes the absurdities of pharmaceutical testing and prompts a searching, often ironic examination of identity, sanity, and what it means to be judged ‘normal.’
