Little Brother

Nick Kilner, Debris, Issue 1

Harry’s descent into heroin started around his mid-twenties. Initially I didn’t have too many thoughts on his drug use. He was the same, more distant perhaps, but he hid it well. I thought of it as an extension of his creative pursuits. He loved the Beats, Charles Bukowski, and Nick Cave – art made by heroin users and working-class underdogs. I thought of him as uncovering the depths and secrets to euphoric spaces, like the artists before him.
