Thirty-one years ago John Sutherland nearly lost everything to drink. It was time to sober up. Or die. Last Drink To LA is part reportage, part confession – not a temperance tale (told to terrify, inform and instruct), not what AA calls a “drunkalog”, but a moving and thought-provoking meditation – some thinking about drinking.

Reviews

The Guardian
A remarkably honest book
Jay Parini author of The Last Station
"John Sutherland is among the handful of critics whose every book I must have. He's sharp-eyed and sharp-tongued, with a generous heart and a wise head".
Goth Lady, Amazon review
Last Drink To LA is an enlightening and courageous book, and quite different from the wallowing, breast beating, confessional splurge one might be offered from a media celebrity. This, in contrast, offers analysis and hope, and should be required reading in all surgeries and branches of AA.
Andrew Henry, Amazon review
I don't know much about literature. I'm just a working class builder who struggles with drink. It's a superb book, full of insight and the sort of stuff that sticks around and bubbles up out of your sub-conscious when you need it to.
