The fast-paced subject of speed has a long-standing literary legacy. The drug has historically tuned-up the lives of writers like Jack Kerouac, Susan Sontag, Philip K. Dick and scores more. Yet despite its forceful presence and lasting influence on pop-culture, few dare to write about it. Akashic now brings forth the first contemporary collection of all-new literary short fiction on the drug, featuring stories from the likes of James Franco, Sherman Alexie and William T. Volmann, among many more, Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

He's cute though.
Tao Lin's story was a little bit of that, too. Boring story about young hip New Yorkers when taking adderall and other drugs = young hip New Yorkers when taking adderall and other drugs are boring. Wow! Real groundbreaking (sarcasm font).
The best story was Sherman Alexie's. He wrote about the rez (duh) and family/community (duh) and drugs (duh) and created just about the only piece in this collection that escaped the emotional/narrative confines of writing a story about drugs. Do not fear cliches and tropes, writers! Use them well and you can communicate better (which is the point, you guys). I also liked the story about Dr. Feelgood. Other stories were doing the uh... William Burroughs or Bret Easton Ellis thing, which was pretty decent most of the time if a bit like... okay, that again (i guess that is what you do when do write drug stories).
And now I want to watch Breaking Bad again. ( )
