Under the Influence

The Literature of Addiction

By: Rebecca Shannonhouse

Drawing on two centuries of important literary and historical writings, Rebecca Shannonhouse has shaped a remarkable collection of works that are, in turn, tragic, compelling, hilarious, and enlightening. Together, these selections comprise a profound and truthful portrait of the life experience known as addiction. Under the Influence offers classic selections from fiction, memoirs, and essays by authors such as Tolstoy, Cheever, Parker, and Poe. Also included are topical gems by writers who illuminate the causes, dangers, pleasures, and public perceptions surrounding people consumed by excessive use of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. Recent provocative works by Abraham Verghese, the Barthelme brothers, Margaret Bullitt-Jonas, and others expand and modernize the definition of addiction to include sex, gambling, and food. Together, these incomparable writings give shape and meaning to the raw experience of uncontrollable urges. Shannonhouse’s recent anthology, Out of Her Mind: Women Writing on Madness, is also available as a Modern Library Paperback.

The Walk Home from a Broken Road

The Struggles of Living in an Abusive Relationship and Finding the Strength to Rediscover Myself

By: Rebecca Crawford

Rebecca Crawford had always viewed herself as strong and in-dependent. She never would have imagined that shed find her-self trapped in an abusive situation. In The Walk Home from a Broken Road, Crawford shares details from her five-year relationship with her abusive boyfriend, Blake. In this memoir, she narrates her storyfrom the time she met Blake while working at a pizza restaurant when she was seventeen years old, to the day she found the courage to leave the relationship, and to the present, where she has found the fortitude to heal, to learn, and to grow. Crawford tells how, slowly and deliberately, Blake cut her off from her friends, family, school, and activities in order to control her every movement and how that control escalated to a torrent of abuse. The Walk Home from a Broken Road provides a firsthand account of an emotionally dysfunctional relationship. It shares Crawfords intensely personal feelings that give great insight into the mindset of a woman trapped in an abusive situation. But more than that, it provides hope for others who face similar circumstances.
