An honest and gracious reflection about the challenges of recovery."-- Rachel Sontag, author of House Rules: A Memoir, Nic Sheff captures the insidious, almost vampiric mind-set of an addict who shrinks from any form of light. This book has more in common with Kafka than any recovery memoir I've read., Sheff's journey, like his writing, is raw and compelling, heartbreaking and witty. An honest and gracious reflection about the challenges of recovery., Praise for We All Fall Down : "Sheff is blessed with off-the-charts readability, and his sex- and profanity-laced first-person narration makes him lovable and hateable in equal measure."-- Booklist (starred review)
