This is insane to the healthy mind; this is why we stare at Winehouse. But alcoholics and drug addicts are smelted insane - I believe they are born self-hating, and look everywhere for agreement. When Rhys wrote the first draft of her masterpiece, Wide Sargasso Sea, she burned it, so she could say it was gone. It took her 30 years to write it again. When Winehouse wins five Grammy awards she lies in the gutter, for the world to see. This is typical addict thinking - I have made a masterpiece - and I will break it, so you can see my worthlessness. I don’t believe the genius and the addiction come together, or that they need each other to exist, although I am certain that Rhys believed it did, and Winehouse seems to agree.
