Description

Dependence initially seems incomprehensible. From the outside, it may appear as intentional and arrogant self-destruction, while from the inside, it can feel as inevitable and palpable as a pulse. It can be described, but is difficult to explore. In the book "The Recovering," Leslie Jamison draws from her own life and the lives of addicted individuals with exceptional talent - such as John Cheever, John Berryman, Jean Rhys, and Amy Winehouse - to take us into the experience of addiction, revealing the lines, angles, and entirety of an intoxicated life.

Part memoir, part group biography, part literary history, and part definitive analysis of the cultural and social parameters of addiction, "The Recovering" constitutes an important moment in the history of postwar nonfiction narrative.
