Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Confessions is De Quinceyâs hallucinatory autobiography of opium-dreams and urban wanderings under the influence of laudanum, a tincture of alcohol and opium that was legal at the time. Initially taking the drug for nerve pain, the frustrated young artist soon began to abuse the drug. Considered the first western account of addiction literature, Confessions would inspire and inform future generations of writers from Baudelaire to Bukowski.
