World? What World?

From a writer named Jess Walter there's this description, one of the finest I've ever read to describe what happened to me: 

"But as a major CNS depressant liquor has its advantages.  It struck my reptilian brain square on its diamond head.  Booze - the ancient dimmer of fear and sorrow.  The granny  of all psychoactive meds, a blunt old hag toddling down out of the mountains with a demented smile and a club.  World?  She sneers.  What world?  And swings her cudgel at your skull."
