This is a phenomenal study of the artistic spirit and alcoholism. Dardis takes our three greatest writers of the last century, Faulkner, Fitzgerald, and Hemingway, and the greatest American playwrite, Eugene O'Neill, and studies the effect their alcoholism had on their work. It's a frightening tale for any writer battling addiction. It's a critical/biographical/sociological study of the best American letters had to offer at the turn of the last century. Read it.
