As an awkward, magicobsessed adolescent, nothing was further from his reality than the catwalks of Paris or the hallways of glossy magazine publishers. A gifted writer and shrewd cultural observer, Peres eventually took the leapeven when it meant he had to fake a sense of belonging in a new world of famed fashion designers, celebrities, and some of medias biggest names. But he had a secret: opiates.Peress career as an editor at W magazine and Details is well known, but little is known about his private life as a highfunctioning drug addict. In As Needed for Pain, Peres lays bare for the first time the extent of his drug useat one point a 60pilladay habit.By turns humorous and gripping, Peress story is a cautionary comingofage tale filled with unforgettable characters and breathtaking brushes with disaster.
