Long synopsis : Bill Clegg runs a thriving business as a literary agent in New York, representing a growing list of writers. He has a supportive partner, trusting colleagues, and loving friends when he walks away from his world and embarks on a two-month crack binge. What leads an exceptional young mind to want to disappear? Based on a true story, PORTRAIT OF AN ADDICT AS A YOUNG MAN is an utterly compelling narrative – lyrical, irresistible and mesmerizing – from which you simply cannot look away.
