fascinating tale of an Irishman's struggle with the drink. Spoiler alert! BTW, he won the battle!
the following review is from amazon:
Although much of 'A Drinking Life' is not actually about drinking, it does offer some insights into the drinking condition as well as the human condition. More than that, it's a cracking good read. Pete Hamill writes beautifully and absorbingly, and he's had a fascinating life. The image he constructs of 1940s New York is so vivid that I feel as though I've experienced it myself. Hamill has very skillfully evoked the feel of a specific time and place. In this way, his writing reminds me of the works of Hemingway and Fitzgerald.
