First sentence: During this painful period in his life, a time in which he felt threatened by what he called his "Oriental distractions," Lee, drinking even more gin than usual, was trying to use writing as a method of dealing with the failure of his erotic impulses, as a way of understanding, if not overcoming, his inability to forge a strong and rational, peaceful and permanent love relationship.
