Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The unflinching story of an alcoholic, set among the smoke-filled piano bars and teeming streets of Manhattan in the late '30s. Jackson's gifted, cursed and self-defeating anti-hero, having contrived his own abandonment, begins the five-day bender that just may be the one that ends it all.
Originally published in Great Britain by John Lane The Bodley Head, 1944.
Having cunningly contrived his own abandonment, Don Birnam begins the five-day bender that may, just may, be the one that ends it all. The Lost Weekend was turned into a classic Hollywood movie by Billy Wilder.
