Sinopsis

The only thing worse than
waking up with the hangover from hell
is waking up with a hangover in hell
When literary reprobate Foster James wakes up in a strange country house, he assumes he's been consigned to rehab (yet again). But when he gets punched in the face by Ernest Hemingway, he realises there's something different about this place...
Is Foster dead? Has his less-than-saintly existence finally caught up with him? After a hostile group therapy session with Hunter S. Thompson, William Burroughs and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, it seems likely. But he still feels alive, especially after he gets laid by Dorothy Parker.
When he discovers that the two enigmatic doctors who run the institution are being torn apart by a thwarted love affair, he and the other writers must work together to save something bigger than their own gigantic egos.
Set in a place that's part Priory, part Purgatory, Dead Writers in Rehab is a darkly funny tale about the strange and terrible entanglement of creativity and addiction, told by a charming, selfish bastard.

    "Candide" is a satirical novel written by the French philosopher and writer, Voltaire. It was first published in 1759 and is considered one of the most famous works of the Enlightenment era. 
    The novel tells the story of a young man named Candide, who is optimistic and believes that everything happens for the best in the world. However, he is faced with a series of tragic events, including being banished from his home, witnessing a devastating earthquake, and experiencing war and injustice. 
    Throughout the novel, Voltaire uses irony, sarcasm, and parody to critique various aspects of society, including religion, philosophy, politics, and human nature. He questions the idea that this is the best of all possible worlds, as espoused by the philosopher Leibniz, and argues that the world is full of suffering and injustice. 
    Despite its serious themes, "Candide" is also known for its humor and wit. It is filled with absurd characters and events, and its witty satire often takes aim at the hypocrisy and absurdity of society. 
    Overall, "Candide" is a complex work that explores the human condition and the flaws of society through a combination of tragedy and comedy.
