'This book could save your life' John Crace 'An unblinking account
of living with - and more importantly, beyond - addiction. Brave,
clear-eyed and inspiring' John Niven 'A rich, uplifting memoir:
Hoskyns portrays how painful inadequacy, masked by drugs, can be
replaced by the messiness of ordinary life' Oliver James A few
months after graduating with a 1st class honours degree from Oxford
University, Barney Hoskyns sat in a damp Clapham basement and asked
his best friend to inject him with heroin. From that moment on, for
the next three years, Hoskyns is hopelessly hooked. This is the
searingly honest story of what brought him to this place - and how
he got himself out of it. Barney Hoskyns is one of the leading
music writers of our time: his books have ranged the musical
landscape from Led Zeppelin to Tom Waits, from Laurel Canyon to
Woodstock. His articles have appeared in NME, Melody Maker, Rolling
Stone and Vogue, and in 2000 he founded Rock's Backpages. Hoskyns
beautifully describes the relationship between music and addiction,
between love and infatuation. Never Enough is Hoskyns's raw,
uncompromising and utterly compelling account of the highs and lows
of life under the needle. Interspersed with photos and diary
entries, Hosykns examines why he so willingly gave himself up to
the death-grip of heroin, and what it took to finally free himself
from it.
