The Trip to Echo Spring : On Writers and Drinking Paperback / softback
by Olivia Laing
Part of the Canons series
Paperback / softback
Description
Why were so many authors of the greatest works of literature consumed by alcoholism?
In The Trip to Echo Spring, Olivia Laing takes a journey across America, examining the links between creativity and drink in the overlapping work and lives of six extraordinary men: F.
Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams, John Berryman, John Cheever and Raymond Carver.
From Hemingway's Key West to Williams's New Orleans, Laing pieces together a topographical map of alcoholism, and strips away the tangle of mythology to reveal the terrible price creativity can exert.
