Beschreibung
The Lost Weekend - directed by Billy Wilder as an all-time classic Oscar and Cannes winning film, starring Ray Milland in his most famous role - is one of the most important books ever written about addiction. No novelist had ever so honestly, and vividly, described the torments, tricks and temptations of an alcoholic. In the character of writer Don Birnam, Charles Jackson both exposed his own struggle with the bottle, and eloquently expressed the demons faced by millions of others, anonymous or known. The book and film have inspired and influenced countless writers, artists, musicians, and the title itself has become iconic. Now, readers can again easily access this great book, at an affordable price in this handsome newly-designed paperback edition.

Über den Autor
Charles Jackson lived a quintessentially tragic, sometime glamorous and tortured literary life - living in The Dakota, The Chelsea Hotel and
dying at St Vincent's Hospital of complications of the tuberculosis he had decades earlier treated at a Swiss sanatorium. A queer writer, he
struggled with writer's block, mental health challenges, and various addictions to pills and drink, while all the while carrying on a highly
successful career as a radio and TV writer, and famous novelist. Born in America in 1903, he began binge-drinking during The Great Depression. In later life, he attempted suicide and was sent to the infamous Bellevue Hospital, in New York. Married, with two children, he nonetheless lived a complex, bisexual life, best understood by reading his works, now seen to be more autobiographical than they were known to be at time of publication.
