Part memoir, part near-scientific study of alcoholism, part surreal journey through a confused era, this is a confession without poses and full of black humour. A psychiatrist and writer recounts childhood, love, marriage and friendship amid the social and political hell around him, the madness of his profession and the ordeal of writing in an age of shopping malls, and his false rescue in drink and long road back.
