Jerry Stahl’s seminal memoir of drug addiction and a career in Hollywood,
Permanent Midnight is a classic along the lines of Hubert Selby, Jr.’s
Last Exit to Brooklyn. Illuminating the self-loathing and self-destruction of an addict’s inner life,
Permanent Midnight follows Stahl through the dregs of addiction and into sobriety.
In 1998, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, and Maria Bello starred in a film version of
Permanent Midnight to much acclaim.
Nic Sheff, author of
Tweak, wrote the introduction to this edition.
