Book with an Interesting Title
Posted: Fri Sep 17, 2021 4:39 am
While browsing a college library book sale, I discovered a book titled Careers in Dope.
Turns out, it’s an academic study on drug addiction in the late 1960s and early 1970s with an emphasis on heroin addiction.
The book features case studies with interviews that read like crime fiction novels. Those interviewed go into elaborate and sometimes graphic details.
Given I enjoy writing, I’m thinking this book might help me if I choose to write more pulp fiction. I wrote a 1970s style, big city pulp fiction short story a while back. The story contains elements of drug culture.
