Synopsis: His thirty perilous years of drug addiction both eased his considerable social anxieties and created new, devastating mental and physical torments. Throughout this time he fought a constant and bitter struggle against the incapacity and torpor that opium-then as readily available as aspirin-incurred. De Quinceys powerful evocation of this drug-induced experience gives a fearful insight into the degeneration of a brilliant mind.
