In a deeply layered psychological narrative, T. Byram Karasu, one
of America s leading professors of psychiatry, illustrates that the
age of narcissism has metamorphosed into the more virulent age of
sociopathy, where selfishness, greed, and the violation of the
rights of others have become fixtures of daily life. Gotham
Chronicles tells the gritty story of Mallory, a young woman who
offers Rolfing massage therapy to the elite of Manhattan. Gradually
drawn into a world of prostitution and illicit drugs, she struggles
to write a novel about her life. Her clients include an assistant
district attorney, a hedge fund manager, a semiretired real estate
tycoon, and a drug-addled college professor. Corruption,
disloyalty, deception, arrogance, and treacherous cynicism rule the
world of these intertwined lives, where sex, drugs, and excessive
money lead to consequences both permanent and tragic. In a deeply
psychological story, Karasu shows the age of narcissism has been
replaced with a more malignant age of sociopathy. Selfishness,
greed, and obsession have become part of everyday life and empathy
seems to be a dying emotion. Mental health professionals and anyone
interested in our own destructive psychology will find Mallory's
story both interesting and revealing.
