Rain hammered on the thatched roof of the tavern, its rhythm blending with the raucous laughter and clinking mugs inside. Around her, faces blurred under the dim oil lamps, a tapestry of weathered fishermen, braggart hunters, and merchants with eyes sharp as their knives. But even the merriment couldn't drown out the gnawing emptiness in Ashera's heart.

The Lost Weekend is Charles R. Jackson's first novel, published in 1944. The story of a skilled however alcoholic creator turned into praised for its powerful realism, intently reflecting the writer’s very own revel in of alcoholism, from which he was temporarily cured. It served as the basis for the classic 1945 Oscar triumphing movie edition. Set in a rundown community of Manhattan in 1936, the radical explores a five-day alcoholic binge. Don Birnam, a binge drinker primarily of rye, fancies himself as a writer. He lapses into overseas terms and quotes Shakespeare even as attempting to steal a woman's purse, trying to pawn a typewriter for ingesting cash, and smashing his face on a banister. That coincidence receives him checked into an “alcoholic ward.” There, a counselor advises Birnam on the nature of alcoholism: There isn't always any treatment, except simply preventing. And how lots of them can do this? They don't need to, you see. When they feel awful like this fellow here, they suppose they need to forestall, but they don't, actually. They can not bring themselves to confess they are alcoholics, or that liquor's got them licked. They trust they could take it or go away it on my own — in order that they take it. If they do stop, out of worry or whatever, they cross without delay into such a country of euphoria and well-being that they come to be over-confident. They're rid of drink, and experience sure sufficient of themselves so as to start once more, promising they will take one, or at the maximum, and — well, then it becomes the same old tale another time. Perhaps the best aspect preserving Birnam from consuming himself to death is his lady friend Helen, a selfless and incorruptible girl who tolerates his conduct out of love. Helen does, however, upbraid him with the phrases: “I have not were given time to be neurotic.” No faster has he started to get over his “Lost Weekend" than he contemplates killing Helen's maid to get the key to the liquor cabinet. He has some drinks and crawls into bed questioning, “Why did they make the sort of fuss?”
