Sharply funny and compulsively readable, The Gilded Razor is a "powerful addition to the literature of active addiction and recovery" (New York Times bestselling author Bill Clegg) from Sam Lansky.
The Gilded Razor is the true story of a double life that New York Times bestselling author George Hodgman called virtuosic. By the age of seventeen, Sam Lansky was an all-star student with Ivy League aspirations in his final year at an elite New York City prep school. But a nasty addiction to prescription pills spiraled rapidly out of control, compounded by a string of reckless affairs with older men, leaving his bright future in jeopardy. After a terrifying overdose, he tried to straighten out. Yet as he journeyed from the glittering streets of Manhattan, to a wilderness boot camp in Utah, to a psych ward in New Orleans, he only found more opportunities to create chaosuntil finally, he began to face himself.
In the vein of Elizabeth Wurtzel and Augusten Burroughs, Lansky scrapes away at his own life as a young addict and exposes profoundly universal anxieties. Told with remarkable sensitivity, biting humor, and unrelenting self-awareness, The Gilded Razor is a coming-of-age story of searing honesty and lyricism and one of the best portraits about the implacable power of addiction (Susan Cheever, bestselling author of Drinking in America).
