"A vivid and accessible panoply of literary and philosophical wisdom that is singular in the field of contemporary self-help. Their impeccable research and exploration of a new paradigm provides the reader both an intellectual and emotional approach to the enduring struggle with addiction that has existed for centuries. But this is not a book solely for the intellectual. The well-chosen quotations that are the core of the book express the deep longings and suffering of people from all walks of life. Thus it would be a welcome addition for anyone with an addiction and/or their families."
--New York Journal of Books"Literature's great wonder is its ability to take the reader into the experience of others, to elucidate an experience and drive us to greater understanding. I'm not an addict, but I have friends who are or who teeter on the edge. Reading Out of the Wreck, I recognized despair, shame, fear and the deep loneliness of those grappling with the illness. . . . The book ramped up my compassion for friends who frequently seem to sabotage efforts to get them well again--such is the nature of addiction."
--Newcity"Chicago journalist Neil Steinberg and quote-collecting collaborator Sara Bader had a rich lode to mine in compiling their sampler of thoughts--rueful and revelatory--on (wo)mankind's complex and enduring relationship with alcohol. Out of the Wreck I Rise: A Literary Companion to Recovery is like a pub crawl around the globe and across the ages, in company with an artistic who's who of brilliant if besotted company."
