Fisher's larger-than-life personality shines through as she performs her raucous memoir with all the panache of the standup routine that inspired the book. Her comedic talents are on full display—particularly in her diagram of Hollywood inbreeding that ends with the ironic punch line that Fisher's teenage daughter is now flirting with the grandson of Elizabeth Taylor, who broke up Fisher's parents' marriage in the 1950s. As Fisher romps through her own affairs and marriages, and her bouts with alcoholism and drug abuse, she manages to see the funny side in all of it, even bipolar disorder (she calls her manic side Roy and her depressed alter ego Pam, after piss and moan). She does a fantastic impersonation of her mother, Debbie Reynolds, and an uproarious sendup of George Lucas, who wouldn't let her wear a bra in Star Wars because he was adamant that there was no underwear in space.

У актрисы и ведущей ток-шоу Сьюзан Вейл ребенок от гея, который забыл сказать ей, что он гей, а она не заметила - в результате он ушел к мужчине. Хуже того, Сьюзан не уверена, что она хорошая мать для своей шестилетней дочери Хани. И у нее маниакальная депрессия, к которой она не относится всерьез, что бы там ни говорили доктора. Действительно, разве можно назвать серьезной болезнь, симптомы которой - загулы, беспорядочные связи и экстравагантные поступки? И хуже всего, что из-за таблеток, которыми пичкают Сьюзан доктора, друзья начинают считать ее скучной. А значит, долой таблетки! Да здравствует бесшабашная жизнь! И бесшабашная жизнь…

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.

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.

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.

Dinah Kaufman writes scripts for a living, and it fits: her life is full of bad lines. Particularly with men. They are all losers. Worse, they turn her down. Imagine her feelings when she finds a real man, Rudy Gendler, polished and successful, who loves her and wants to get married.
Alas, he is not what he seems and the marriage ends just short of disaster. Dinah pulls herself together and finds...that she still loves Rudy! How can she win him back?

Now that she's conquered rehab and romance, best-selling novelist Carrie Fisher boldly goes where no man has gone before: motherhood. Hollywood screenwriter Cora Sharpe has taken to writing letters to the unborn child she's tentatively dubbed Esme - even though it sounds like a noise your nose makes. But then, Cora has what one of the endless intimates she thinks of as her Committee calls "a big loud life," and recent events have been no exception. Her confidant and writing partner, Bud, has been on a bipolar roller coaster. Her dear friend William, AIDS-ridden, has finally taken leave of his life, with the aplomb befitting "a suburban show business sultan." And in the vacuum that follows his departure, Cora's romance with quiet, gentle Ray has suddenly flickered and expired. Then Cora finds out she's pregnant, and even the Committee can't steer her through this one. In a fight-or-flight confrontation with maturity, flight seems to have the upper hand. So when her mother, Viv, tries to rally support for her latest madcap scheme - to kidnap her Alzheimer's-stricken father from a nursing home and take him back to Whitewright, Texas, the place of his birth - Cora, for once, is game. With Bud in tow, she signs on for what turns out to be a cosmic (not to mention comic) exploration of the urges that drive us to feather our nests and fill them, to flee them and find our way home. With singular deftness, Fisher captures the ambivalence and absurdity of modern maternity, in her wittiest and wisest novel to date.

Die Nachricht des unerwarteten Todes von Carrie Fisher am 27. Dezember 2016 im Alter von nur 60 Jahren ersch?tterte nicht nur die Welt, sondern das gesamte Star Wars-Universum. Jahrelanger Drogenmissbrauch und psychische Probleme belasteten die Karriere einer sensiblen Frau, die zugleich als Prototyp des weiblichen Action-Stars in Hollywood galt. Wie auch Elizabeth Taylor und Shirley Temple, die schon fr?h Ber?hmtheit erlangten, zahlte Fisher einen hohen Tribut f?r ein Leben zwischen den Extremen. &t;br/&t; Als Fisher 1977 zum ersten Mal am Set von Star Wars die Rolle der Prinzessin Leia verk?rperte, wirkte sie noch unschuldig, lebensfroh und experimentierfreudig. Niemand h?tte zum Zeitpunkt der Dreharbeiten den ?berw?ltigenden Erfolg der Sternensaga erahnen k?nnen, der in einem wahren Kult-Imperium m?ndete. Charaktere wie Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, R2-D2 und nat?rlich Prinzessin Leia und Han Solo haben mittlerweile den Status von Archetypen der Popkultur erlangt. Das lag jedoch nicht nur am spannenden Drehbuch und der ideenreichen Umsetzung des Sch?pfers George Lucas. Es war die Chemie zwischen den Darstellern, die der Space Opera einen ganz besonderen Reiz verlieh. Aufmerksame Zuschauer bemerkten schnell die geradezu magische Anziehungskraft, die zwischen der damals neunzehnj?hrigen Fisher und dem ?ber zehn Jahre ?lteren Harrison Ford in der Rolle des Han Solo bestand. 40 Jahre nach dem Leinwanddeb?t l?ftet die Autorin das Geheimnis: W?hrend der Dreharbeiten entwickelte sich zwischen den beiden Darstellern eine st?rmische und leidenschaftliche Liebesaff?re, die nicht nur wegen des Altersunterschieds brisant war, sondern vor allem wegen der Tatsache, dass Ford zum damaligen Zeitpunkt verheiratet war. &t;br/&t; Das Tagebuch der Prinzessin Leia ist eine hoch emotionale Autobiografie, bei der Fisher ihr Leben Revue passieren l?sst und der ?ffentlichkeit erstmalig die alten Tageb?cher aus dem Jahr 1977 zug?nglich macht. Hier erlebt der Leser eine junge Frau – schw?rmerisch, z?rtlich und von Gef?hlen ergriffen, die sie zuvor nie in dieser Intensit?t erfahren hat. Neben Impressionen von Dreharbeiten und sorgf?ltig ausgew?hltem Fotomaterial ber?hrt die hautnah miterlebbare Liebesgeschichte, die Star Wars in einem neuen (Sternen)-Licht erscheinen l?sst. Carrie Fisher h?tte ihren Fans kein sch?neres Abschiedsgeschenk hinterlassen k?nnen.
