Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Most critics who have considered the ties between writing and drink in this century have done so in piecemeal fashion, usually with the stress on biography rather than the works themselves. Thomas Gilmore is the first to address the subject broadly and with attention to its specifically literary implications, and he does so with deftness and authority."--Richard K. Cross, University of Maryland
"An original, highly rewarding book. In it, Thomas Gilmore enriches our understanding both of a fascinating theme in modern literature and of a pervasive problem in modern life."--Modern Fiction Studies --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Thoughtful and interesting,
By A Customer
This review is from: Equivocal Spirits: Alcoholism and Drinking in Twentieth-Century Literature (Paperback)
For anyone who is interested in the impact of outside social influences on the way writers write, this is a must read. This book is thoughtful, provocative, and interesting, with enough scholarly insight for the expert and lively and engaging commentary for the lay reader.
