Need help!
I remember reading this one novel back around 1998 and I was wondering if anyone out there might be able to help me figure out who wrote it and what it was called.

What I thinly remember of the plot:

It was set in a mental hospital and was written in the first person by a guy in a wheelchair who couldn't communicate with the other patients or staff. I think he may have been a deaf blind mute but I'm not sure. I seem to remember staff members abusing him etc and it was a really powerful, tragic and often funny book. I think about it a lot but I can't for the life of me remember the title or author. It was a pretty short book (couple of hundred pages or so). Dark, twisted sexual favors for anyone who can help.

As for my favorite book, it has to be the Dark Tower fantasy series by Stephen King. If you get past the first book (which goes pretty slowly) then you're in for a treat. Really amazing stuff.

Dark Tower?
I loved the first one. The second one was meh, and the third is sat on my shelf with a bookmark on page three hundred and something, where it has lain for the last two years. I kept expecting it to get going and it never did.
