Liquid Courage and Fictional Lives

By: Simmons, Yunita

An investigation into the human tendency to escape into altered states and fabricated identities. It argues that both alcohol and self-invention function as technologies of the self - methods through which individuals negotiate the tension between the unbearable weight of authenticity and the necessity of performance.
