Book
The recovering : intoxication and its aftermath / Leslie Jamison.
By the NYT bestselling author of 'The Empathy Exams' comes an exploration of addiction, and the stories we tell about it. With its deeply personal and seamless blend of memoir, cultural history, literary criticism, and journalistic reportage, 'The Recovering' turns our understanding of the traditional addiction narrative on its head, demonstrating that the story of recovery can be every bit as electrifying as the train wreck itself.
