An astounding and amazing memoir, A. A. Gill's Pour Me a Life is a riveting deep breathing on the author's alcoholism, seen through the lens of the stories that remain and the transformative moments that saved him from a lifelong addiction and early death. Most widely known for his hysterically funny and often scathing restaurant reviews for the London Weekend Times, journalist Adrian Gill creates about his near-fatal alcoholism in this amazing lucid memoir. By his early 20s, at London's esteemed Saint Martin's skill university, Gill was entrenched in his cravings. He creates from the couple of memories that remain, of drunken conquests with private women, of waking to morbid hallucinations, of emptying jacket storage compartments that "were like very small crime displays" assisting him puzzle his whereabouts again mutually. Throughout his recollections, Gill traces his childhood, his early analysis of dyslexia, the profound sense of isolation when he was delivered to boarding university at time 11 and the disappearance of his only sibling, whom he hasn't seen for decades. When Gill was confronted at time 30 by a doctor who questioned his drinking alcohol, he answered genuinely for the first time, not because he was prepared to stop but because his body was too broken to live much longer. Gill was admitted to a 30-day treatment center - a rare and groundbreaking concept in Great britain - and has resided three decades of his life sober. Written with clear-eyed integrity and empathy, Pour Me a Life is a haunting consideration of cravings, its exhilarating electricity and destructive pressure and is also destined to be a common of its kind.
