The Last Martini: A Hangover Bedside Companion

English

By (author): Peter Sellers

The Last Martini is a wry and amusing look at the prevalence of the hangover experience through the history of literature. It is the first survey of some of the most vivid, hilarious, and moving descriptions of hangovers and their sufferers that has ever been compiled. While the book is far from comprehensivethe list of hangover scenes is a lengthy oneit is a unique and intriguing introduction to the field. The Last Martini is not a book of hangover cures and placebos, unless they are methods and recipes detailed in works of fiction. Instead, it is a celebration of the countless different ways in which authors have described the experience. While the book includes the sardonic, understanding humour most writers have found in those dismal mornings after, it also features excerpts, such as those by Hubert Selby Jr and Charles Jackson, that reflect the real life tragedy and pathos that excess can bring. The Last Martini is the kind of book that can be read cover to cover or dipped into at random. It can be enjoyed by everyone who has ever had a hangover and by everyone who's never had one and wants to know what they've been missing. See more
