Night of Serious Drinking A Novel

A Night of Serious Drinking is among René Daumal's most important literary works. It is a work of symbolic fiction that can be enjoyed purely as an entertaining and imaginative story, but also for the much deeper meaning enwoven into its deceptively simple plot: An unnamed narrator spends an evening getting drunk with a group of friends. As the party becomes totally intoxicated and exuberant, the narrator embarks on a journey that ranges from seeming paradises to the depths of pure hell. Daumal's keen perceptions of the human condition infuse A Night of Serious Drinking with a critique of culture and consciousness that is both disquieting and enlivening.Daumal, Rene is the author of 'Night of Serious Drinking A Novel' with ISBN 9781585673995 and ISBN 1585673994.
