Written with the passion of an obsessive, Nicotine addresses a lifelong addiction, from the thrill of the first drag to the perennial last last cigarette. Reflecting on his experiences as a smoker from a young age, Gregor Hens investigates the irreversible effects of nicotine on thought and patterns of behavior. He extends the conversation with other smokers to meditations on Mark Twain and Italo Svevo, the nature of habit, and the validity of hypnosis. With comic insight and meticulous precision, Hens deconstructs every facet of dependency, offering a brilliant analysis of the psychopathology of addiction.
This is a book about the physical, emotional, and psychological power of nicotine as not only an addictive drug, but also a gateway to memory, a long trail of streetlights in the rearview mirror of a smoker’s life. Cigarettes are sometimes a solace, sometimes a weakness, but always a witness and companion.
This is a meditation, an ode, and a eulogy, one that will be passed hand-to-hand between close friends.
这是一本禁烟时代我们需要的书。禁烟是好事,但禁止谈烟才是一个浪漫时代的泯灭。我在这本书里追忆着至今人生中最戏剧性的那几年。我想正是因为尼古丁,我回忆中的过往才是片段式的、充满叙事性的短小章节。我所体验的人生是双重的:点上一根烟之前的焦躁人格,和那之后的几分钟内的人格--亢奋同时又平静,思绪如同那一缕青烟翻腾柔转。我在寒冬的雨夜吸血鬼一般在街上游荡嗅着可能可以借烟的对象,我抽过地上的烟头,我曾多次把抽剩的那半包扔进垃圾桶又翻出来却又拿到水龙头下浇烂。我已不再那样抽烟了。但我爱过我抽的每一支烟,每一支都对我有着特殊的意义。
评分追忆似水年华ft尼古丁而不是马德莱娜,有些飘,其实没什么内容,但有几段非常中肯非常真诚,打发时间让人很开心的,类似夸奖戒烟好的部分我就当没看见。
