At school, survival wasnt just about fitting init was about making it through the day with his dignity intact. The first time they shoved Garys head into the toilet bowl, he questioned how much more he could take. By the time they drew a swastika on his forehead, he stopped wondering.In the backdrop of 1970s England, Gary navigates the chaotic seas of adolescence in the English coastal town of Hove. With humour and a delicious sense of naivety, he steers through a life marked by a blend of love and dysfunction, anchored by his loving and quirky mother and his deeply cherished father. But beyond the warmth of home, school is a much darker and crueller reality. At Knoll Boys, Gary confronts relentless and vicious bullying that pushes his spirit and resilience to the brink. The horrors he endures are not just physicalthey are ritualistic and dehumanizing, the cruelty seemingly unending. Yet, Garys resilience shines through, a testament to the human spirits capacity to endure.

Tara Selter is no longer alone.Tara Selter has lived the eighteenth of November 1,143 times when she notices a break in the pattern: a man has changed his shirt. The man is Henry Dale, and he remembers all the days that have come before. He knows that time has fallen out of joint. Now they are two of a kind - trapped in the eighteenth of November, but no longer alone.Together they learn to share their present; their voices grow hoarse recounting their small battles against it and their bewilderment at the disintegrating world. Henry sees things differently to Tara: he does not think that time will put itself back together and he does not think that the future will come around. But he makes her realise that she is no longer the same person she was before this fault in time. And he makes her believe that there may be others to find within it.

Deu veus, deu histories, deu relats reals explicats amb respecte i fam de sentit des de dins del laberint Aquest llibre dona veu als qui no en solen tenir, als qui s'han extraviat pels laberints del trastorn mental i pateixen el rebuig de la societat. Fa temps, aquesta exclusio es feia explicita en la nau dels folls, l'embarcacio que allunyava els inadaptats riu enlla. Mes tard, els encarregats d'aillar-los van ser els manicomis. Ara, les estrategies son -o semblen- menys repressives: els que han estat rebatejats amb el nom de malalts mentals es troben que, simplement, se'ls medica i se'ls nega el discurs. Se'ls fa callar sobre el que viuen. I se'ls corregeix. Les histories que es reuneixen aqui son reals, i tot el valor del llibre rau en els seus protagonistes, en les seves vivencies: que ens fa perdre el seny, que ens fa conservar-lo, que ens protegeix davant una amenaça que pot afectar tothom i que podem fer quan algu, fins i tot nosaltres mateixos, creua la linia i comença a veure el pou des de dins. Si alguna cosa vaig aprendre escrivint Les veus del laberint es que les persones ho son mes enlla dels seus trastorns, escriu Ruiz Garzon. Que no hi ha esquizofrenics, bipolars, ansiosos o deprimits, sino fills, mares, germans, marits o amigues amb mil trets unics, als quals els han caigut una serie de simptomes i, amb sort, de tractaments. No hi ha bojos, o almenys no serveix de gaire, l'etiqueta. Hi ha gent que pateix, i es feina nostra saber si els ajudem o si preferim, porucs o egoistes, condemnar-los. Com va expressar un d'ells: Sortir d'aqui es molt dificil; l'entrada, en canvi, es mes a prop del que la gent es pensa.
