When it Comes to Drying Out, West is Best - or, at Least More Fun.
Since its launch 70 years ago, Alcoholics Anonymous has sparked hot debate. In this book, John Sutherland examines the exotic mutation of the movement in the hothouse atmosphere of southern California. This book is part-reportage, part-confession - a study of AA as it has evolved alongside the Dream Factory of Hollywood, laced with personal testimony from two generations of Sutherlands who have passed through it.
