Asphyxiation

For centuries, society has been puzzled by the alcoholic and the insane. Plenty of subject material is available from perspectives of professionals, philosophers, and persons in recovery. But what is it like inside the mind of someone lost to the world? Originally written and published in 2005, ＂Asphyxiation＂ offers a stunning insider’s view of alcoholism and borderline personality disorder. Alternating between free association reminiscent of William S. Burroughs and self-deprecating narrative, Neur0 Vanity explores abuse, mental illness, addiction, the influence of Hollywood, and delusions of grandeur with shocking honesty and impenitence. The 20-year-old author shares her stories in a unique style that draws readers into the twisted inner workings of a diseased mind. This second edition features an afterword from the author, written seven years later and from a place of full recovery.
