What if true madness requires far more intellect than sanity?

"Only God knows who is mad and who is sane... Madness cannot be achieved with so little mind." In The Scroll of Madmen, Sadık Yalsızuçanlar compiles the stories of the *meczuplar*—those whose reason has been swept away by the transcendence of divine love.

From the legendary Neyzen Tevfik to Dede Efendi, this collection examines people from all walks of life—whether homeless and tattered or educated and musical—who share the state of *şeydâlık* (divine craziness). Through their wisdom and unique stories, the author reveals how stripping away the ego and abstracting oneself from the world can make an entirely different realm visible.
