An unexpectedly touching, and almost alarmingly well-written, memoir of Burroughs's journey through alcohol rehab, kicked off by an intervention in the workplace, and the rocky months that followed. Burroughs writes with lacerating wit -- the blade turned, in this case, mostly at himself -- and his prose is ridiculously lively and affecting, even when he's describing the most harrowing stages of addiction. I have no idea whether this book has any of the controversies over accuracy that faced its predecessor, "Running With Scissors" (which I haven't read), and I don't much care; I enjoyed reading it too much.
