It is amazing to me that this book, drunken angel, that I
put down a number of times early in my reading because of the horror described
within its pages, eventually I wished it would have continued well beyond the
400 plus pages as Alan Kaufman’s darkness lightened. As soon as he went to his
first AA meeting I was breathing easier and I was hopeful he would gain some
footing and finally begin to breathe the breath of sanity as a feeling human
being.
Alan fought in the Israeli army as a young adult and during
this time he was exposed to more trauma causing him to suffer PTSD. His writing
is so full of life it is easy to lose oneself within the pages. From lust to
love, from homelessness to wealth and fame, with war in between, Alan Kaufman shares the many lows
and the highs of such a bizarre but miraculous life. His memoir is testimony of
the hells of addiction and the miracles of recovery. Alan has made his mark on
the world sharing a legacy in his written work that anyone would be lucky to
read. I encourage you to pick up a copy of drunken angel and get ready for a
ride of a lifetime as you make your way through its pages!
