Ninety Days: A Memoir of Recovery

PRAISE FOR PORTRAIT OF AN ADDICT AS A YOUNG MAN:

"Mesmerizing...Reading it is like letting the needle down on a Nick Drake album. Clegg tells his story in short, atmospheric paragraphs, each separated by white space, each its own strobe-lighted snapshot of decadent poetic memory.... Clegg can write." -Dwight Garner, The New York Times

"Clegg spares no one's feelings, least of all his own; it's not the brutality that makes this book worthwhile but rather the strange beauty of the stream-of consciousness prose." -Mickey Rapkin, GQ

"Beautifully rendered in spare and elegant prose, a rumination on the human condition that recalls William Styron's memoir of depression, Darkness Visible" -Kirk Davis Swinehart, Chicago Tribune
