Lucid Intervals

Lucid Intervals is a novel written by Edward Sandford Martin. The story revolves around a man named John Kendrick Bangs who is a writer and editor in New York City. Bangs is known for his wit and humor, but he is also a heavy drinker. The book follows Bangs as he struggles with alcoholism and tries to maintain his career and relationships. The novel is divided into several parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Bangs' life. In the first part, we see Bangs at the height of his success as a writer and editor. He is witty, charming, and successful, but his drinking is beginning to take a toll on his health and his relationships. As the story progresses, we see Bangs' life spiral out of control. He loses his job, his wife leaves him, and he becomes increasingly isolated and depressed. However, as he hits rock bottom, Bangs begins to have a series of lucid intervals - moments of clarity in which he is able to see his life and his problems more clearly. Through these moments of clarity, Bangs begins to turn his life around. He seeks help for his alcoholism, reconnects with his friends and family, and starts to rebuild his career. The novel ends on a hopeful note, with Bangs looking forward to a brighter future. Overall, Lucid Intervals is a poignant and insightful novel about addiction, recovery, and the power of self-reflection. Martin's writing is witty and engaging, and his portrayal of Bangs' struggles is both honest and compassionate.
