A. Gill's memoir begins in the dark of a dormitory with six strangers. He is an alcoholic, dying in the last-chance saloon. He tells the truth - as far as he can remember it - about drinking and about what it is like to be drunk. He recalls the lost days, lost friends, failed marriages ...But there was also an 'optimum inebriation, a time when it was all golden'.  Sobriety regained, there are painterly descriptions of people and places, unforgettable musings about childhood and family, art and religion; and most movingly, the connections between his cooking, dyslexia and his missing brother. Full of raw and unvarnished truths, exquisitely written throughout, POUR ME is about lost time and self-discovery. Lacerating, unflinching, uplifting, it is a classic about drunken abandon.","brand":"Orion Publishing Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40056108974165,"sku":"9781780226439N","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/05349549-2410-44ca-83ed-cacc2b553505.jpg?v=1651490488","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/pour-me-a-life","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
