Description

From the condemnatory to the celebratory, this is an utterly absorbing collection of the very best in drug-related literature. Highly entertaining & impeccably researched, this anthology begins with Apuleius’s 2nd-century text, “The Golden Ass,” & finishes with Irvine Welsh’s tale about speeding in a bowls club. In between are a wealth of pieces from well-known writers on drugs, such as Burroughs, Baudelaire & Huxley, & individuals not normally associated with the subject, such as Boccaccio, Marco Polo, J.M. Barrie & Cary Grant. Editor Richard Rudgley is at once scholarly & humane; he seems to know everything about intoxicants without being a proselyte & without trivializing the subject.
