(Oct. 30 2:00 AM) - Jerry Stahl's first book, the harrowing memoir Permanent Midnight, tells the story of his life as a successful Hollywood writer living with drug addiction. Beginning his career in the adult film industry, Stahl later began writing scripts for such TV hits as "Moonlighting," "Thirtysomething," and "Alf," jobs that put almost $7,000 a week in his bank account. Moving between $100 Los Angeles lunches and meetings with Cybill Shepherd to dangerous scores in the worst parts of the city, Stahl managed to lose his family, his house, his screenwriting opportunity for the second season of "Twin Peaks," and nearly his life. Permanent Midnight is not for people with delicate sensibilities or any other low thresholds for truth.
