A review by tittypete
The Man Who Fell to Earth by Walter Tevis
4.0
A spaceman comes to earth looking for a place to set up shop. He comes from a planet that's all dried out from nuclear war. So he introduces some alien film processing technology and makes a mil. He tries to parlay that money into building a spaceship for his friends back home but the feds find out he's a spaceman and he gets stuck in interrogations for so long he misses the space opportunity. Also they blind him and he becomes a drunk. In the end he gives up on his dreams in order to pursue gin. Grim parallels.
