This sequel to the bestselling "Postcards from the Edge" contains
Carrie's Fisher's trademark intelligence and wit that brought
"Postcards" to the Hollywood movie screen.
When we left Suzanne Vale at the end of Carrie Fisher's bestselling
"Postcards from the Edge, " she had survived drug abuse, rehab, and
Hollywood celebrity. "The Best Awful" takes Suzanne back to the
edge with a new set of troubles--not the least of which is that her
studio executive husband turned out to be gay and has left her for
a man.
Lonely for a man herself, Suzanne decides that her medication is
cramping her style, and she goes off her meds--with disastrous
results. The "manic" side of the illness convinces her it would be
a good idea to get a tattoo, cut off her hair, and head to Mexico
with a burly ex-con and a stash of OxyContin. As she wakes up in
Tijuana, the "depressive" side kicks in, leading Suzanne through a
series of surreal psychotic episodes before landing her in a mental
hospital. With the help of her movie star mom, a circle of friends,
and even her ex-husband, she begins the long journey back to
sanity.
"The Best Awful" is by turns highly comic and darkly tragic, a
roller-coaster ride through the dizzying highs and crushing lows of
manic depression, delivered with fast and furious wit.
