This book focuses on New York City-based actors and comedians who
are self-acknowledged heroin users. Barry Spunt examines a number
of hypotheses about the reasons why actors and comedians use heroin
as well as the impact of heroin on performance, creativity, and
career trajectory. A primary concern of the book is the role that
subculture and identity play in helping us to understand the heroin
use of these entertainers. Spunt captures the voices of actors and
comedians through narrative accounts from a variety of secondary
sources. He also examines how New York-based films about heroin
relate to the major themes of his research.
