Drowning in Love's Debris: A Memoir of Addiction
No Customer Reviews
What happens when one's Grand Passion, the Love of One's Life, falls to pieces? What is left? What then motivates the victim? What happens when the sanctity of love is lost, and the libido remains on its own, as a force without devotion? These questions are relevant not only to the author of this memoir but to the Boomer Generation as a whole. It is a generation infused with the nearly religious idea that the fulfillment of life comes in a magical relationship--the search for and unification with one's Soul Mate. Their parents told them, TV portrayed it, their movies dramatized it, and most of all their music hypnotized them.This compelling, sometimes disturbing, often amusing personal tale delineates one man's path after both his Grand Passion and his career mission desert him, or perhaps vice versa. There are overtones of T.S. Eliot's sad and funny lovesong as well as Whitman's inability to be "contained be-tween his hat and his boots." From the academic word of Penn State, to Jamaica's heartbreak, incarceration, and finally self-imposed exile, the protagonist wanders with humor and anguish ... Drowning in Love's Debris.
