John Barleycorn: Alcoholic Memoirs by Jack London

3.0

London effectively describes our ambivalent relationship to booze. (For example, he gets tanked on election day after voting for women's suffrage...which he did because women would force prohibition.) The confusing mix of glorification and disapproval was strangely satisfying. It's all remarkably--maybe depressingly--relevant. London's insistence that he is not an alcoholic echoes what I've heard from plenty of acquaintances.
