Reviews

'Reach for the blackest coffee you have (or a wee dram if you prefer): Shears takes us into the lost weekend of the literary hangover, unearthing the meanings of the pains and pleasures of the morning after the night before.' Andrew M. Butler 'As Shears shows again and again, the hangover can serve a valuable literary function ... and his pioneering study provides us with an accessible, intriguing, sophisticated and suggestive mapping of the terrain.' Mark Hailwood, Social History of Medicine
