About This Book

A district psychiatrist visits a suburban household to evaluate a man who, after watching televised cowboy programs, insists he is guarding a cliff in his backyard. The clinician uses logic and demonstration to challenge the belief, only to meet a fatal, unforeseen physical consequence when he steps toward the supposed gap. The narrative probes the unstable border between fantasy and reality, the limits of clinical explanation, and how routine domestic scenes can conceal irrational convictions with dangerous, ironic outcomes.
