His obsessive-compulsive disorder would end up crippling and isolating him; in the end he self-medicated his way into oblivion. In the last years of Hughes' life, feeling his power ebb, bedridden and hopelessly addicted to drugs, he lays out and lays bare his history. He loops and reloops the past on a seemingly endless reel in his head as he spirals into madness and disconnection. In stops and starts, his life unfolds and gradually we see the shape and preoccupations of the twentieth century emerging from his ruined psyche - a world of oil, money, planes, flight, movies, drugs, sex, neurosis, fear - a world where paranoia reigns"--Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Hughes, Howard, $d 1905-1976 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Billionaires $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Drug addiction $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026339 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171222040343.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D8B3D9CEE6E611E7A3BFBD0A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
