  requiring surgery. And fentanyl\, one of his myriad drugs of choice\, is 
 prescribed. This forced &quot\;freelapse&quot\; should fix his heart\, but
  what will it do to his sobriety? And what if it doesn&#39\;t work? These 
 questions shape the vivid\, uncanny language in Mohr�s latest memoir\, &
 lt\;em&gt\;Model Citizen&lt\;/em&gt\;. Join Joshua for a reading\, followe
