{"product_id":"2940012497659","title":"JOHN BARLEYCORN (Enjoyment \u0026 Struggles With Alcohol)","description":"John Barleycorn is an autobiographical novel by Jack London dealing with his enjoyment of and struggles with alcoholism.\u003cbr\u003eThere are, broadly speaking, two types of drinkers. There is the man whom we all know, stupid, unimaginative, whose brain is bitten numbly by numb maggots; who walks generously with wide-spread, tentative legs, falls frequently in the gutter, and who sees, in the extremity of his ecstasy, blue mice and pink elephants. He is the type that gives rise to the jokes in the funny papers.[3]\u003cbr\u003eThis is contrasted to drinkers such as the narrator, who are possessed of imagination and become drunk more in brain than in body. To them, John Barleycorn sends clear visions of the eventual pointlessness of life and love and struggle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLooking for another good book?
