The Cup of Fury by Upton Sinclair

The Cup of Fury — Upton Sinclair (1956)
1st Edition Hardcover with Original Dust Jacket — Alcoholism & Literary History

The Cup of Fury (1956) is Upton Sinclair’s powerful exposé on the destruction caused by alcoholism—told through the intimate stories of some of the 20th century’s most influential writers, artists, and public figures. In this deeply personal work, Sinclair draws from his own life and relationships to reveal how “moderate drinking” led to ruin for many of his celebrated peers, including:

• Jack London

• Dylan Thomas

• Sinclair Lewis

• O. Henry

• Stephen Crane

• Isadora Duncan

• Maxwell Bodenheim

• William Seabrook
  …and many others whose brilliance was darkened by alcohol dependence.

This compelling volume is both a cautionary tale and a historical record, making it an important addition for collectors of addiction history, literary biography, or Sinclair’s extensive body of work.
