The Narco-Imaginary: Essays Under the Influence

More about the book

Literary Nonfiction. Written according to its own dictum, "language is the universal inebriant," these epistolary essays, personal narratives, meditations on avant- garde writers, and unorthodox forays into the "narco-imaginary" the habits and conventions surrounding literary and cultural representations of drug use attend to the residue of transient impressions that remain, long after the delirium of creative activity subsides."
