Tweak

“Nic Sheff’s wrenching tale is told with electrifying honesty and insight.” – Armistead Maupin, author of The Night Listener and Michael Tolliver Lives“Difficult to read and impossible to put down.” – Chicago Tribune“Tweak is…Bukowski and Burroughs, the heart to his dad’s head—and the kid can write.” – Seattle Weekly“An unflinching chronicle of life as an addict.” – U.S. News & World Report“Full of jaw-tightening and occasionally grisly scenes of shooting up, deals gone bad, guns and sex, Sheff’s story takes off like a shot in the arm with a terse, honest and spontaneous narrative.” – Kirkus ReviewsReview of Tweak and Beautiful Boy: “Both takes on this story are riveting, brilliantly written, thoughtful, searingly honest and equally essential. They should be mandatory reading for every teenager and every parent of one.” – London Daily Mail“The trajectory of drug addiction is nothing new, but Sheff’s lucid, simple prose makes the heartbreaking journey seem fresh.” – San Francisco Chronicle“A raw and sad account, vivid in its depiction of the pleasures and tunnel vision of addiction and the challenges of sobriety.” – BCCB“Raw, powerful, and honest.” – The Bookseller
