"Hilarious . . . uncompromising."-The New York Times

"Nyswaner nails the memoir form . . . lush in content."-Entertainment Weekly

In the years immediately following his Academy Award nomination for Philadelphia, screenwriter Ron Nyswaner fell through the rabbit hole. This gripping, intimate, and darkly comic memoir chronicles this period in his life, a -period where a raging drug addiction collided with an obsessive and almost fatal love affair.

Ron Nyswaner's screenplays include Mrs. Soffel, Swing Shift (uncredited), Gross Anatomy, Love Hurts, Philadelphia, and the Showtime film Soldier's Girl. His adaptation of The Painted Veil goes into production next year with Edward Norton and director Caroline Link.
