The Lost Weekend by Charles R. Jackson

5.0

Clearly written from experience, what amazes me about this book is how Jackson can so accurately capture the mind-spin of an alcoholic particularly of an alcoholic so far along on the downward spiral. Though certainly not an easy read - due largely to its trajectory away from real time - I'm positive it would bear multiple readings to pick up things missed the initial time through. I also am amazed that a film version could have been made at all given the books stream of consciousness point of view and introspective setting.
