In Sheer Gall, Michael A. Kahn takes the reader on a breathless journey from the sublime to the ridiculous, from the sublime to the sublime. Over the course of his dizzying, kaleidoscopic pages, Kahn explores the phenomenology of intoxication, the psychology of addiction, and the physiology of pleasure. He delves into the history of intoxication and addiction, from ancient civilizations to modern cities, and examines the ways that intoxication has been used as a social lubricant, a means of escape, and a tool of domination. Kahn also looks at the ways that intoxication has been used to create art, to connect with others, and to explore the bounds of the possible. In Sheer Gall, Kahn provides us with a unique and exhilarating exploration of the ways that intoxication can transport us to new and unimaginable places.; A Rachel Gold Novel; 8vo; 308 pages.
