The Black Veil

The Black Veil

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In this searing, brilliantly acclaimed memoir, one of the most admired writers of his generation reveals how a decade of alcohol, drugs, and other indulgences led him not to the palace of wisdom but to a psychiatric hospital in one of New York's less exalted boroughs. An inspired portrait of what it means to be young and confused, older and confused, guilty, lost, and finally healed.
