Show Notes

In this story, our hero is…too empathetic? Unable to protect himself from seeing the inequities, the injustices, the impossible situation in which some people live? And not feel their agony? You be the judge. I think we should all be so “sensitive.” I hope you enjoy “A Nervous Breakdown” (please note: it ventures into prostitution, guilt and suicide. some very delicate subjects.)
