VIDEO – INTERVIEW WITH A WRITER –
Oct. 24, 2022 – “From the very beginning, alcohol was very bad for me,” Rice says in her video. “For years I was an episodic drunk, then, after a considerable length of time, I became what I would call a steady drunk. I still managed to be very successful at life. I wrote ‘Interview with the Vampire’ and got drunk at night . . . I wrote ‘Feast of All Saints’ and managed to get drunk in the evenings afterwards. I don’t know that I’d be alive today if I’d kept up the way I was going back in 1978. But something saved me. It was a miracle. And the name of that miracle was Christopher Rice.”
