Writers on the Edge
22 Writers Speak About Addiction and Dependency

Writers On The Edge offers a range of essays, memoirs and poetry written by major contemporary authors who bring fresh insight into the dark world of addiction, from drugs and alcohol, to sex, gambling and food. Editors Diana M. Raab and James Brown have assembled an array of talented and courageous writers who share their stories with heartbreaking honesty as they share their obsessions as well as the awe-inspiring power of hope and redemption. For those who want to know the nitty-gritty details of what drives the narrative of my novels “Boulevard” and “Beat,” my non-fiction essay “Sunset Boulevard” opens the door. Other contributors include Jerry Stahl (“Permanent Midnight”) and James Brown (“The Los Angeles Diaries” and “This River”).
