Synopsis
As de Quincey scribbles away in abject poverty, buoyed up by narcotic sustenance, desperately trying to meet deadlines for Blackwood his publisher, he is accompanied by a pickpocket and simpleton, Willy.
The brilliant loquacious addict and the affably childish dimwit are drawn together by circumstance and a mutual need.
The wonderful mastery of image in the author's work is reflected in the dialogue... - Robert Gore Langton.
