Sorry you have not zero-ed in on it as yet. Clue: It deals with the lives of two men.

Another clue: The book received rave reviews from organisations such as The Daily Telegraph, The Times etc.
According to the personal blurb on the inside cover he must have been in prison while writing this particular book as he was sentenced in 2001 and this was published in 2002.

I feel guilty for doing it, but I've never heard of this particular author, and so Wikipedia points me toward "Sons of Fortune."

And Wikipedia has pointed you in the right direction. Sons of Fortune it is and a good read too. So over to you.
What is your Book?

Off to bed now, but for you to ponder for the next ten hours: a novel which is notable in several respects, but I think the best way to describe it is "insane."

None of the guesses correct. American author, novel written in the 20th century.

And I think you're using the wrong logic of "insane" to get to the answer. I mean, yes, I think there are several character in this novel who are insane, but to me, the whole concept of the novel is the insane part. :)

"Catch-22"?

No, but along the same lines :)
A major motif in this book is one of my favorite hobbies--check out some of my quizzes and you might get the hint. Shameless self-promotion. :)

It can't be as easy as "Pride and Predjudice" can it?

It is not--American author, 20th century, remember. :)
The title is from Shakespeare. A rather well-known play, in fact. :)
