Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man is an utterly compelling narrative - lyrical, irresistible, harsh, honest, and beautifully written - from which you simply cannot look away.
What makes one of the most gifted, charismatic and successful literary agents in New York fall into full-blown crack-addiction: a collapse that would cost him his business, his home, many of his friends and - very nearly - his life?
In his utterly compulsive narrative, Bill Clegg leads us through the grimiest back-rooms of Manhattan's underbelly, through scenes of blank-eyed sex and squalor, into the febrile paranoia of a mind gone out of control.
Author: Bill Clegg.
