Description:
US: Black Lizard, 1953. Paperback. Good. Dr. Peter S. Murphy runs a clinic to cure alcoholics. But his charges belie ve that the only thing that will fix them is another drink. To this bitter struggle of wills, add an orderly who doubles as a quack practitioner, a nu rse who is both alluring and ingeniously sadistic, and a misplaced patient whose main problem is his lack of a frontal lobe, and the result is one of Jim Thompson's most harrowingly funny yet deeply sympathetic novels.
The Alcoholics by Thompson, Jim, and Gifford, Barry (Introduction by), and O'Brien, Geoffrey (Jim Thompson 'Dimestore Dostoevsky' Afterword by) - 1986
