Book Synopsis

''Sympathetic and wonderfully perceptive . . . a heartbreaking read''
NICK COHEN, Critic

''Wise, witty and empathetic . . . outstanding''
JIM CRACE

''A fascinating treatment of the age-old problem of writers and drink which displays the same subtle qualities as William Palmer''s own undervalued novels''
D. J. TAYLOR

An ''enjoyable exploration of an enduringly fascinating subject . . . [Palmer] is above all a dispassionate critic, and is always attentive to, and unwaveringly perceptive about the art of his subjects as well as their relationship with alcohol . . . [his] treatment is even-handed and largely without judgement. He tries to understand, without either condoning or censuring, the impulses behind often reprehensible behaviour''
SOUMYA BHATTACHARYA, New Statesman

''A vastly absorbing and entertaining study of this ever-interesting subject''
ANDREW DAVIES, screenwriter and novelist
