The Unruly Ones straddle the line as they explore sanity and insanity. Most of us live in a world of everyday crazy. Our minds aren’t easy to control. Do we call people and things crazy because they surprise us or because we have no category in which to put them? Life is pretty crazy under most circumstances, but especially in 2022, in/sanity depends as so much else on the eye of the beholder.
