Trauma, the latest novel by Patrick McGrath, tells the story of a New York psychiatrist who specializes in helping Vietnam vets suffering from trauma. As he learns more about his own family life, though, he finds himself caught up in his own trauma, and fighting the madness he knows is approaching. McGrath paints a dark picture of 1980s Manhattan as a backdrop for the human suffering Trauma explores.
