America Anonymous Benoit Denizet-Lewis

America Anonymous is the unforgettable story of eight men and women from around the country---including a grandmother, a college student, a bodybuilder, and a housewife---who are struggling with addictions. For nearly three years, acclaimed journalist Benoit Denizet-Lewis immersed himself in their lives as they battled drug and alcohol abuse, overeating, and compulsive gambling and sexuality. Alternating with their stories is Denizet-Lewis's candid account of his own recovery from sexual addiction and his compelling examination of our culture of addiction, where we obsessively search for new and innovative ways to escape the reality of the present moment and make ourselves feel better.
