The Harassment of Reginald D. Payne is self-narrative of a sometimes-troubled man from Oakland, California. Although something of a simple read, this book is often hard hitting in its descriptive nature and continuous search for the readers' empathy. Plain-talking, Payne takes a year of what he describes as a ten-year pounding of sleep harassment. Only you can be the judge. Is Payne crazy, or are there forces outside his control harassing his attempts to sleep?
