Amid headlines of overdoses and galloping addiction rates, an outspoken and darkly comic dispatch from the new Age of Opium.
North Americans are the world's most compulsive and prolific users of legal opioids. Carlyn Zwarenstein, diagnosed with an inflammatory spine disease as a young mother, eventually turned to them to manage her pain.
In this lyrical update of Thomas De Quincey’s Confessions of an English Opium-Eater, she recounts her search for relief and release — with its euphoric ups, hallucinatory lows and desperate pharmacy visits. Along the way she traces the long tradition of opium’s influence on culture and imagination, from De Quincey to Frida Kahlo.
Part love letter to Romanticism, part critique of modern medicine, Zwarenstein’s memoir offers a distinctly different riff on pain, creativity and mind-altering drugs.

Opium Eater The New Confessions edition by Carlyn Zwarenstein Professional Technical eBooks Reviews
Painful, realistic, dark humor.
I'm totally addicted to this book... as someone that develops dependency to drugs/meds very easily I just want to say, Opium Eater is one of the most exquisite substances I've been under the influence of...
This is a thoughtful, witty, and literary account on a very topical theme, opioid medication, in relationship to art, creativity, and well-being. Recommended especially for those in health care and wellness professions, those in the arts, and anyone who has experienced or has empathized with a friend or loved one experiencing chronic pain. It's also simply a good read as a memoir by a contemporary 30-something woman dealing with the things we all deal with, but with a fresh, self-aware perspective.
