White Out
The Secret Life of Heroin
Author: Michael Wesley Clune
How do you describe an addiction that erases its own memory, making every hit feel like the first time? In White Out, Michael Wesley Clune takes readers inside the world of heroin addiction and what he calls “the Memory Disease,” where each use is vivid, fascinating, and new—even as it destroys everything around it.
With sharp wit, black humor, and unflinching honesty, Clune recounts his double life as both a literature graduate student and a heroin addict. We follow him through Baltimore’s streets and into the classroom, from nodding off in abandoned row houses with fellow users to nervously scanning lecture halls for imagined threats. His story spirals through paranoia, danger, and loss, before turning toward detox, treatment, and the slow return to reality, where recovery brings him back to his childhood home—and to a world of color that heroin once blotted out.
White Out is a haunting, literary memoir of addiction and recovery, written with rhythmic prose that brings readers face to face with the strange, devastating power of heroin and the fragile hope of healing.
