Title: The most insightful book about addiction I've ever read
Review: Knapp if a gifted stylist in the evocatively brittle vein of Marguerite Duras (good) or Kathryn Harrison (not so good). But what makes this book so compelling is her deep insight into the nature of her alcoholism and, by extension, addiction in general. Thus, the deeply screwed-up life detailed in these pages becomes much more than a sideshow attraction - i.e. Elizabeth Wurtzel's supremely tawdry "More, Now, Again". It becomes a valuable object lesson in the traps we set for ourselves. This is wisdom that anyone, addict or not, can benefit from.
