Description:
Regina, Saskatchewan: Canadian Plains Research Center, 2004. 168 pages. Solid with light wear on the covers and the interior is unmarked. "The history of literature is replete with substance-dependent writers. ... Could the members of the Club des Haschichins (circa 1845), De Quincey, Jean Cocteau, Bachelard, and others be right- that potentially addictive substances stimulate the artistic imagination? What is the relationship between the desire for intoxication or euphoria and the compulsions of addiction? Is there a sense in which writing provides similar highs and compulsions? Are writing and substance addiction similar transgressive behaviors? Could it be that both writing and addiction are ways of losing control, or perhaps of losing controls?". 1st Printing. Trade Paperback. Very Good +. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
