Here's one to stump the panel. It's certainly stumped me for years, at any rate. It's the story of a catatonic schizophrenic told in the first person, and I haven't the foggiest notion of the author's name. The following quotation from the book's opening is probably so way off target as to be laughable, as it's quoted from a reading that took place probably 45 years ago, but here's the way I remember it:
Quote:

Who am I. They said I was a tonic. A tonic? Yes, they said I was cat tonic. A tonic for cats. No, that's not right. It was something else. "Cat O'Tonic", an Irish name. That's who I am. I'm catatonic!

I thought the name of the book was
Cat, but a search of that name brought up nothing.
Does anyone have any ideas?
