Tells the story of how the addict, a person uniquely torn between disease and desire, emerged from a variety of figures such as drunkards, opium-eating scholars, vicious slave masters, dissipated New Women, and queer doctors. This book traces the evolution of the concept of addiction through a series of recurrent metaphors.
