Pour Me: A Life

A. A. Gill`s memoir begins in the dark of a dormitory with six strangers. He is an alcoholic, dying in the last-chance saloon. He tells the truth – as far as he can remember it – about drinking and about what it is like to be drunk. He recalls the lost days, lost friends, failed marriages… But there was also an `optimum inebriation, a time when it was all golden`.Sobriety regained, there are painterly descriptions of people and places, unforgettable musings about childhood and family, art and religion; and most movingly, the connections between his cooking, dyslexia and his missing brother.Full of raw and unvarnished truths, exquisitely written throughout, `Pour Me` is about lost time and self-discovery. Lacerating, unflinching, uplifting, it is a classic about drunken abandon.
