Postcards From the Edge

English

By (author): Carrie Fisher

** THE NEW YORK TIMES-BESTSELLING CULT CLASSIC NOVEL **
** In a new edition introduced by Stephen Fry **


I dont 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 someones shoe, and not even someone interesting. Immersed in the sometimes harrowing, often hilarious goings-on of the drug hospital and wondering how shell 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, theres always someone whos even closer to the edge of reason.
 
Carrie Fishers 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
