America Anonymous book cover

America Anonymous: Eight Addicts in Search of a Life by Benoit Denizet-Lewis caught my eye because I am always looking for books that explain addiction. This dazzling portrait of eight addicts and their intimate, sometimes heartbreaking struggle with substances: food, drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, is a portrait of our greatest public health crisis. Lewis, whose extraordinary research on addiction punctuates the book, is himself an addict and that infuses these stories with an amazing understanding. Addicts will read this book; those who want to understand addiction should read it!

BB - Cheever Dissent Mag 1015

Dissent is the storied magazine of Norman Mailer and Irving Howe, now online. The online essays, many by the brilliant Nicholaus Mills, cover everything from the paintings of Turner at the Met to the problems with Sarah Palin. It's so smart and fun to read.
