"Writers On The Edge" offers a range of essays, memoirs and poetry
written by major contemporary authors who bring fresh insight into
the dark world of addiction, from drugs and alcohol, to sex,
gambling and food. Editors Diana M. Raab and James Brown have
assembled an array of talented and courageous writers who share
their stories with heartbreaking honesty as they share their
obsessions as well as the awe-inspiring power of hope and
redemption.
"Open to any piece in this collection, and the scalding,
unflinching, overwhelming truths within will shine light on places
most people never look. Anyone who reads this book, be they users
or used, will put it down changed. And when they raise their eyes
from the very last page, the world they see may be redeemed, as
well." --Jerry Stahl, author of Permanent Midnight
