An eventually uplifting tale of one man’s battle to overcome depression, or ‘The Devil’ as the author calls it. As Kris Kristofferson wrote in one of his most memorable
‘You see the devil haunts a hungry man, If you wanna beat him, you have to join him. I ain’t saying I beat the devil, but I drank his beer for nothing.

We also hear about the numerous health advantages of foie gras and the Gascon way of life, the Planet under Stress, Van Morrison and last but not least the life-saving qualities of both Prozac and landscape.
