Reviews
“A surprising reading of an extremely important problem that surpasses previous studies of narcoculture and presents us with a broader image of consumer societies, their addictions, and the way narcography configures a psychic architecture of modernity informed by distinct cultural products and areas of knowledge.” (Sayak Valencia, author of Gore Capitalism [Capitalismo gore] (2010), and research professor at the Colegio de la Frontera Norte in Tijuana, Mexico)
“Joseph Patteson has produced a perceptive cognitive and affective mapping of drugs in contemporary Latin American literature. His groundbreaking approach to the subject of intoxication opens an unexplored comparative route between North and South, cutting across habit forming disciplinary and generic boundaries that insist on keeping psychotropics, aesthetic experimentation, and drug wars apart.” (Julio Ramos, Professor Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley, USA)
