Dirk Wittenborn discusses and signs Pharmakon August 22, 2008

In Pharmakon, novelist and screenwriter Dirk Wittenborn tells the story of the Friedrich family. William Friedrich is an ambitious psychology professor at Yale in the early 1950s when he stumbles upon a potential wonder drug that promises happiness. One of his test subjects is a bright but troubled freshman named Casper. When the experiment goes terribly awry and Casper murders Friedrich's research partner, Friedrich and his young family flee the ensuing chaos for the anonymity of a sleepy New Jersey town.
