 | | Delirium Tremens, Solares's first book, is his sixth to be published in English. |
 | | Following the book's original publication in Mexico in 1979, Solares was asked to deliver lectures about delirium tremens internationally, including in Cuba and Russia.Solares has won numerous awards and honors, among them two fellowships at the Mexican Writers Center, the Diana/Novedades International Prize, the National Prize for Cultural Journalism, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. |
 | | Whereas Knapp's account is an intimate, first person confession of the progress of her addiction, Delirium Tremens is a chorus of voices that, while all in the first person, document a specific moment--the first visual hallucination or DT--in each person's drinking. |
