Summary

In the realm of literature, alcohol and the American writer have shared a long and tumultuous relationship. This book delves into the complex and captivating world of this intoxicating muse, exploring how alcohol has shaped the lives and works of some of America's most iconic authors.

From the taverns of ancient Greece to the bars and cafés of modern cities, alcohol has been a companion, a source of inspiration, and sometimes a nemesis to those who wield the pen. In this book, we examine the ways in which alcohol has influenced the literary output of four American writers: Faulkner, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and O'Neill.

Through a close examination of their writings and personal lives, we trace the evolution of their attitudes towards alcohol over time, from the initial embrace of its liberating effects to the eventual recognition of its destructive potential. We also consider the impact of alcohol on their personal lives, their relationships, and their overall well-being.

This book offers a unique perspective on the relationship between creativity and addiction, between inspiration and self-destruction. By exploring the experiences of these four writers, we gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and triumphs of the creative process.

More than just a cautionary tale about the dangers of alcohol abuse, this book also acknowledges the role that alcohol has played in fostering creativity and shaping some of the most iconic works of American literature. By understanding the complex and often contradictory relationship between alcohol and the writer, we gain a new appreciation for the power and fragility of the creative spirit.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the lives and works of these four great American writers, as well as for anyone fascinated by the complex relationship between creativity and addiction. It is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the human condition, and it sheds new light on the challenges and triumphs of the creative process.

    Late Fascism - Race Capitalism...

    Late Fascism turns to theories of fascism produced in the past century, testing their capacity to illuminate our moment and challenging many of the commonplaces that debate on this extremely charged term devolves into. It can be tempting for any contemporary assessment of fascism to reach for historical analogy. 
 
 
 
Rather than treating fascism as an unrepeatable phenomenon or identifying it with a settled configuration of European parties, regimes, and ideologies, Toscano approaches fascism as a problem and a process, one that is intimately linked to capitalism's demands for domination. Drawing especially on Black radical and anti-colonial theories of racial fascism, Late Fascism makes clear the limits of identifying fascism simply with the political violence of bygone European regimes. From the "Great Replacement" to campaigns against critical race theory and "gender ideology," today's global far-right is launching lethal panics about the threats to traditional political, sexual, and racial regimes. Late Fascism allows us to rediscover some truly inspiring anti-fascist thinkers, rooted in their turn in largely anonymous collective practices of worldmaking against domination, traditions of the oppressed that remain a resource for those set on dismantling the hierarchies and segregations that the partisans of Order and Tradition seek to revive and reimpose.
