George Orwell claimed that prose writers have four ‘great motivations’: sheer egoism; aesthetic enthusiasm; historical impulse; and political purpose.

I concur. This is every bit as bleary-eyed and melancholy as cover suggests, but free from the cliches that too easily conflate problem drinking with a kind of lush romanticism as the writer tries to reassemble the disparate shards of memory and selves shattered by life at the bottom of a bottle.
