The Die Is Cast - by Robert Desnos (Paperback)
The Die Is Cast is a groundbreaking portrayal of drug addiction in prewar Paris, offering a startlingly contemporary perspective on overdoses, arrests, suicides, and the solitude of the addict.
Drawing from Desnos' own experiences with drugs in the 1920s and his doomed relationship with Yvonne George, this book provides an intimate and unflinching look at the lives of opium, cocaine, and heroin users from all walks of life in Paris.
Published in 1943, just a year before Desnos was arrested by the Gestapo for his Resistance activities, The Die Is Cast stands as both an anomaly in Desnos' career and a timely work that predates the Beat Generation's "junkie literature." With its focus on the harsh realities of addiction and the impact it has on those affected, this book is sure to resonate with readers today.
