Description

A vivid report of a journey to the edge of self-destruction, Pete Hamill's memoir is a poignant exploration of the complexities of growing up and growing old. Born during the Depression and World War II, Hamill learned early that drinking was an integral part of being a man, but it wasn't until later that he discovered its destructive power.

Through his story, Hamill captures the mood of an America that is gone forever, with a bittersweet fondness for the city he calls home. This is a memoir about the culture of drink, and how it shapes our lives, as well as a powerful exploration of the human condition.

Magnificent in its candour, A Drinking Life is a book that will resonate with anyone who has ever struggled to find their place in the world.
