The foundations of alcoholic thinking and the role of fantasy, alienation, and rebellion -- Alcoholism in Ernest Hemingway's "The sun also rises": a wine and roses perspective of the lost generation -- Addiction and spirituality in contemporary American poetry: frustration and paradox -- JohnBerryman's "Phase four" and his precarious attempt to finda compromise between drunkenness, sobriety, and the A.A. twelve step program of recovery -- The grand illusion: evasion, survival, and self-hate -- The alcoholic isolation and fall to self-destruction in Edwin Arlington Robinson's "Mr. Flood's party" -- Sex and promiscuity: conjugaldetachment and the fear of intimacy -- Alcoholic guilt andemotional paralysis: Bathos, incongruity, and frustration -- The contaminated vision: the alcoholicperspective in Hart Crane's "The wine menagerie" -- Clowns and bedlam: the dark side of alcoholic humor -- Through a glass darkly: death and dissolution.

The book offers a socio-critical analysis of the alcoholic perception in the poetry and fiction of modern American alcoholic writers. MattsDjos focuses on primary indicators of alcohol addiction (fear, manipulation, anger, loneliness, and antic-social behavior) and their expression in modern American literature. After providing a general foundation for analysis of the psychological effects of the disease, this volume scrutinizes the work of Ernest Hemingway, John Berryman, E.A. Robinson, Hart Crane, Theodore Roetheke, Robert Lowell, John Steinbeck, and William Faulkner. The detail provides critical and in-depth perspective on the workings of the alcoholic mind.
