A Tale of Instability in Seven Parts
Saturnalia
From: On Opium
$1.70
Through the description of a trip to Spain, the author explores facism and the relationship between governments and drug users, and other disposable groups of people. The author states that we imagine drug users as saturnalia, and resent and the fear and the idea of the high, which can both mask pain and unmask painful truths.
