Opium: Journal d'une désintoxication by Jean Cocteau

5.0

there is an extensive history of authors and their drug use. this is one of the more interesting ones. tracing a roughly two month period, he passes through rehab, beginning with an obsessive meditation on opium use, distancing his discussion to the realm of dreams, and ultimately ending on the people he knew around town (Proust, Picasso, &c.)
