Description

A calm look at middle-class heroin addiction & an honest analysis of how an obsessed society mythologizes it. Weaving personal history with aphorism & analysis, author Ann Marlowe searches unsparingly to explain her & society’s obsession with heroin addiction. She considers the comforts of heroin in the context of our increasing rootlessness & examines the pursuit of this drug in relation to our profoundly cynical society. Without glamorization, she explores the seduction of this controversial powder. “A searingly honest & intensely personal account.” “A brilliant & impressive book.”
