        Die Klarheit

        Alkohol, Rausch und die Geschichten der Genesung

        by Leslie Jamison, Kirsten Riesselmann

        Von außen betrachtet mag das Trinken als willentliche Selbstzerstörung erscheinen – für den Alkoholiker ist es so unausweichlich wie der nächste Atemzug. Manchem Künstler, von Raymond Carver über Billie Holiday und David Foster Wallace bis Amy Winehouse, erschien es gar ein Quell der Inspiration. Und auch Leslie Jamison trank, weil sie ihre Mängel verbergen und um jeden Preis besonders sein wollte. Doch dann war das Ausmaß der Selbstzerstörung so groß, dass sie sich Hilfe suchen musste. Und sie erkannte, dass sie erst genesen würde, wenn sie nicht mehr auf ihrer Originalität beharrte. Mitreißend erzählt Leslie Jamison von ihrer Abhängigkeit und dem harten Weg hinaus. Davon, dass die Loslösung vom Alkohol bedeutet, sein Bild von der Welt und von sich selbst radikal zu hinterfragen und zu verändern. Die Klarheit ist eine persönliche und kollektive Geschichte des Trinkens und des nüchternen Lebens – klug, bewegend aufrichtig und von unverhoffter Schönheit.

        Der Gin-Trailer

        Roman

        by Leslie Jamison, Kirsten Riesselmann

        Nach dem New-York-Times-Bestseller Die Klarheit schreibt Leslie Jamison einen großen Roman über Sucht und Ausweglosigkeit, über echte Verzweiflung und die flüchtigen hellen Augenblicke, die so schnell wieder verschwinden, wie sie gekommen sind. Als junge Frau läuft Tilly von zu Hause weg und landet in der schäbigen Unterwelt Nevadas, wo sie statt des großen Glücks nur Drogen, Alkohol und die falschen Männer findet. Eines Tages, nachdem Tilly beinahe dreißig Jahre lang keinen Kontakt zu ihrer Familie hatte und sich in einem Trailerpark in der Wüste fast zu Tode getrunken hat, steht ihre Nichte Stella vor der Tür ihres Wohnwagens und zwingt sie zu einem Neuanfang. Der Gin-Trailer erzählt die Geschichte der eigentümlichen Beziehung, die zwischen den beiden entsteht.
