In this literary and artistic memoir about drinking, a journalist from Massachusetts explores the origins of alcoholism in the life of an intelligent girl from an upper-class family.
Caroline Knapp explains how her wealthy parents' warped lifestyle caused her to spiral into anorexia and alcoholism. It's only fitting that literature proved to be her savior; she sobered after finding motivation in Pete Hamill's "A Drinking Life." The people she has met along the road add flavor to her story.
A journalist explains how she used alcohol to avoid interactions with others and life's reality for twenty years, until a string of personal catastrophes forced her to face her issue.
