Novinář David Carr se vrací do osmdesátých let a rekonstruuje jeden z nejtemnějších příběhů, se kterým se kdy setkal — příběh své vlastní závislosti na drogách. Zpovídá množství známých, kteří se stali svědkem jeho pádu: bývalé milenky, drogové dealery, policisty, spolupracovníky i kamarády. Tráví tři roky probíráním policejních protokolů, lékařských zpráv, zatykačů a dalších dokumentů. Kniha je šokujícím záznamem kokainového pekla, ale i příslibem lepší budoucnosti muže, který svou závislost překonal.

A leading biblical scholar offers a powerful reexamination of the Bible's origins and its connections to human suffering Human trauma gave birth to the Bible, suggests eminent religious scholar David Carr. The Bible's ability to speak to suffering is a major reason why the sacred texts of Judaism and Christianity have retained their relevance for thousands of years. In his fascinating and provocative reinterpretation of the Bible's origins, the author tells the story of how the Jewish people and Christian community had to adapt to survive multiple catastrophes and how their holy scriptures both reflected and reinforced each religion's resilient nature. Carr's thought-provoking analysis demonstrates how many of the central tenets of biblical religion, including monotheism and the idea of suffering as God's retribution, are factors that provided Judaism and Christianity with the strength and flexibility to endure in the face of disaster. In addition, the author explains how the Jewish Bible was deeply shaped by the Jewish exile in Babylon, an event that it rarely describes, and how the Christian Bible was likewise shaped by the unspeakable shame of having a crucified savior.
Carr maintains that the transcendental tradition, often misinterpreted as a mere alternative version of the metaphysics of the subject, is in fact itself directed against such a metaphysics.
