Cultural histories of recreational drug use have been attempted before. But
Sadie Plant鈥檚 Writing on Drugs is particularly perceptive, especially as she
considers the longeurs of her subject: 鈥淲riting on drugs,鈥� she writes, 鈥渉as
evolved and mutated like a contagion, each writer reading the others鈥� work,
repeating their adventures, and also their mistakes.鈥� Plant maps the drug
culture鈥檚 Gordian knot of pleasure and danger, tradition and innovation,
radicalism and stoned apathy, with rare if sometimes prolix-precision. Published
by Faber and Faber, 拢9.99, ISBN 0571196160.
