Description

Bob Arctor is just a dealer of the lethally addictive drug Substance D. Fred may be the police agent assigned to tail and eventually bust him. To do this, Fred assumes the identity of a drug dealer named Bob Arctor. And since Substance D--which Arctor consumes massive doses--gradually splits the consumer's brain into two distinct, combative entities, Fred does not understand he's narcing on himself.Caustically humorous, strangely accurate in its representation of lovers, con artists, and the walking brain-dead, Philip E.
