With Idioteque, he edited the book Palco da Loucura (2015), a book already published with success in Spain. A reputed Spanish psychiatrist analyzes the history and mind of such relevant names in our contemporaneity as Hemingway, Marilyn Monroe, Picasso, Hitler, among many others. It is a superb set of articles in the field of psi, with all the added knowledge that it offers us as a whole. Nevertheless, the text is engaging and absolutely seductive, making us as a whole immerse ourselves in an enthralling way in the minds of these unusual personalities who question us at all times.
