The Lost Weekend

The classic tale of one man’s struggle with alcoholism, this revolutionary novel remains Charles Jackson’s best-known book—a daring autobiographical work that paved the way for contemporary addiction literature.

“A masterpiece of psychological precision.”
—The New York Times Book Review

“Marvelous and horrifying. . . . The best fictional account of alcoholism I have read.”
—Kingsley Amis

“A masterpiece . . . a book so powerful and understanding that many readers will find themselves riveted to their chairs until the end.”
—The Saturday Review of Literature

“The novel is a miracle, handed down to Mr. Jackson by a higher power. Every sentence is right. . . . Let's put it on the top shelf again, for all us lucky ex-drunks.”
—Barry Hannah
