“The most spectacular blackout of my long career as a drinker took place five years ago, during my last trip to Paris. I’m hazy on the details. I remember a huge fight with my second wife outside our rented apartment when I couldn’t remember the entry code. I half-remember being fished out of the Seine, without my glasses (I was later told I leapt from one of the bridges).”~from Clancy Martin’s review of White Out by Michael W. Clune appearing in the Chronicle of Higher Education.
Ed.Note: As one might expect from a journal of this nature, the exploration into addiction takes a decidedly philosophical bent. The review and especially the comment section seem to be as interesting as the book itself.
