This memoir from the bestselling author of "Postcards from the
Edge" and "Wishful Drinking" gives you an intimate, gossip-filled
look at what it's like to be the daughter of Hollywood royalty.
Told with the same intimate style, brutal honesty, and uproarious
wisdom that locked "Wishful Drinking" on the "New York Times"
bestseller list for months, "Shockaholic" is the juicy account of
Carrie Fisher's life. Covering a broad range of topics--from
never-before-heard tales of Hollywood gossip to outrageous moments
of celebrity desperation; from alcoholism to illegal drug use; from
the familial relationships of Hollywood royalty to scandalous
run-ins with noteworthy politicians; from shock therapy to talk
therapy--Carrie Fisher gives an intimate portrait of herself, and
she's one of the most indelible and powerful forces in culture at
large today. Just as she has said of playing Princess Leia--"It
isn't all sweetness and light sabers"--Fisher takes readers on a
no-holds-barred narrative adventure, both laugh-out-loud funny and
poignant.
Finally, after four hit novels, Carrie Fisher comes clean (well,
sort of ) with the crazy truth that is her life in her first-ever
memoir. In "Wishful Drinking," adapted from her one-woman stage
show, Fisher reveals what it was really like to grow up a product
of "Hollywood in-breeding," come of age on the set of a little
movie called Star Wars, and become a cultural icon and bestselling
action figure at the age of nineteen.
Intimate, hilarious, and sobering, "Wishful Drinking" is Fisher,
looking at her life as she best remembers it (what do you expect
after electroshock therapy?). It's an incredible tale: the child of
Hollywood royalty -- Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher --
homewrecked by Elizabeth Taylor, marrying (then divorcing, then
dating) Paul Simon, having her likeness merchandized on everything
from Princess Leia shampoo to PEZ dispensers, learning the father
of her daughter forgot to tell her he was gay, and ultimately
waking up one morning and finding a friend dead beside her in
bed.
"Wishful Drinking," the show, has been a runaway success.
"Entertainment Weekly" declared it "drolly hysterical" and the "Los
Angeles Times" called it a "Beverly Hills yard sale of juicy
anecdotes." This is Carrie Fisher at her best -- revealing her
worst. She tells her true and outrageous story of her bizarre
reality with her inimitable wit, unabashed self-deprecation, and
buoyant, infectious humor.

** THE NEW YORK TIMES-BESTSELLING CULT CLASSIC NOVEL ** ** In a new
edition introduced by Stephen Fry ** 'I don't think you can even
call this a drug. This is just a response to the conditions we live
in.' Suzanne Vale, formerly acclaimed actress, is in rehab, feeling
like 'something on the bottom of someone's shoe, and not even
someone interesting'. Immersed in the sometimes harrowing, often
hilarious goings-on of the drug hospital and wondering how she'll
cope - and find work - back on the outside, she meets new patient
Alex. Ambitious, good-looking in a Heathcliffish way and in the
grip of a monumental addiction, he makes Suzanne realize that,
however eccentric her life might seem, there's always someone who's
even closer to the edge of reason. Carrie Fisher's bestselling
debut novel is an uproarious commentary on Hollywood - the home of
success, sex and insecurity - and has become a beloved cult
classic. 'This novel, with its energy, bounce and generous delivery
of a loud laugh on almost every page, stands as a declaration of
war on two fronts: on normal and on unhappy' STEPHEN FRY 'A single
woman's answer to Nora Ephron's Heartburn . . . the smart successor
to Joan Didion's Play It as It Lays' Los Angeles Times 'A cult
classic . . . A wonderfully funny, brash and biting novel'

This bestselling Hollywood novel by the witty author of "Wishful
Drinking" and "Shockaholic" that was made into a movie starring
Meryl Streep and Shirley MacLaine.
When we first meet the extraordinary young actress Suzanne Vale,
she's feeling like "something on the bottom of someone's shoe, and
not even someone interesting." Suzanne is in the harrowing and
hilarious throes of drug rehabilitation, trying to understand what
happened to her life and how she managed to land in a "drug
hospital."
Just as Fisher's first film role--the precocious teenager in
"Shampoo"--echoed her own Beverly Hills upbringing, her first book
is set within the world she knows better than anyone else:
Hollywood. This stunning literary debut chronicles Suzanne's vivid,
excruciatingly funny experiences inside the clinic and as she comes
to terms with life in the outside world. "Postcards from the Edge"
is more than a book about stardom and drugs. It is a revealing look
at the dangers--and delights--of all our addictions, from money and
success to sex and insecurity.
Harry (Billy Crystal) and Sally (Meg Ryan) first meet as students,
when they share a disagreeable drive from Chicago to New York. Over
the course of the next ten years they keep bumping into each other
at various intervals, which generally seem to coincide with one of
them having an emotional trauma. Will their platonic relationship
turn into something more? Rob Reiner's hugely successful romantic
comedy features Meg Ryan infamously faking an orgasm in a Manhattan
deli.
'Wishful Drinking is a touching and incisive account of bipolarity,
addiction and motherhood.' Independent 'No motive is pure. No one
is good or bad - but a hearty mix of both. And sometimes life
actually gives to you by taking away.' Carrie Fisher in Wishful
Drinking In Wishful Drinking, Carrie Fisher told the true and
intoxicating story of her life with inimitable wit. Born to
celebrity parents, she was picked to play a princess in a little
movie called Star Wars when only 19 years old. "But it isn't all
sweetness and light sabres." Alas, aside from a demanding career
and her role as a single mother (not to mention the hyperspace
hairdo), Carrie also spends her free time battling addiction and
weathering the wild ride of manic depression. It's an incredible
tale: from having Elizabeth Taylor as a stepmother, to marrying
(and divorcing) Paul Simon, and from having the father of her
daughter leave her for a man, to ultimately waking up one morning
and finding a friend dead beside her in bed. Carrie Fisher's
star-studded career included roles in numerous films such as The
Blues Brothers and When Harry Met Sally. She was the author of four
bestselling novels, Surrender in the Pink, Delusions of Grandma,
The Best Awful and Postcards from the Edge, which was made into a
hit film starring Shirley MacLaine and Meryl Streep. Carrie's
experience with addiction and mental illness - and her willingness
to talk honestly about them - made her a sought-after speaker and
respected advocate. She was truly one of the most magical people to
walk among us. Further praise for Carrie Fisher:- [Shockaholic] is
the finest, funniest chronicler of the maddest celebrity mores.'
Sunday Times 'Fisher has a talent for lacerating insight that
masquerades as carefree self-deprecation' Los Angeles Times 'She is
one of the rare inhabitants of La-La Land who can actually write'

Joe Dante directs this late 1980s comedy horror starring Tom Hanks
and Bruce Dern. Life is pleasant, if dull, in the suburb of
Hinckley Hills until the weird Klopeks move in next door to Ray
Peterson (Hanks). When Ray decides to spend his week's vacation
relaxing at home, he soon allows himself to be persuaded by his
other neighbours that the Klopeks are in fact marauding killers,
and joins in the suburbanites' investigation. The film also stars
Carrie Fisher and Corey Feldman.
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.
When Carrie Fisher discovered the journals she kept during the
filming of the first Star Wars movie, she was astonished to see
what they had preserved - plaintive love poems, unbridled musings
with youthful naivete, and a vulnerability that she barely
recognized. Now her fame as an author, actress, and pop-culture
icon is indisputable, but in 1977, Carrie Fisher was just a
teenager with an all-consuming crush on her co-star, Harrison Ford.
With these excerpts from her handwritten notebooks, The Princess
Diarist is Fisher's intimate and revealing recollection of what
happened on one of the most famous film sets of all time - and what
developed behind the scenes. Fisher also ponders the joys and
insanity of celebrity, and the absurdity of a life spawned by
Hollywood royalty, only to be surpassed by her own outer-space
royalty. Laugh-out-loud hilarious and endlessly quotable, The
Princess Diarist brims with the candour and introspection of a
diary while offering shrewd insight into the type of stardom that
few will ever experience.
This last book from beloved Hollywood icon Carrie Fisher is the
crown jewel of ideal Star Wars gifts. The Princess Diarist is an
intimate, hilarious, and revealing recollection of what happened
behind the scenes on one of the most famous film sets of all time.
