Author biography

CARRIE FISHER, the daughter of Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, became an icon when she starred as Princess Leia in the original Star Wars trilogy. The author of five bestselling novels, including the sequel to Postcards from the Edge, The Best Awful, Fisher’s star-studded career includes roles in numerous films such as The Blues Brothers and When Harry Met Sally. In 2009, she was nominated for a Grammy award for Best Spoken Word Album for the audio edition of Wishful Drinking, which was a New York Times bestseller as well as a hit Broadway production. Carrie Fisher’s first novel is set within the world she knows better than anyone else: Hollywood, the all-too-real fantasy land of drug users and deal makers. This stunning literary debut chronicles Suzanne Vale’s vivid, excruciatingly funny experiences—from the rehab clinic to life in the outside world. Sparked by Suzanne’s—and Carrie’s—deliciously wry sense of the absurd, Postcards from the Edge is a revealing look at the dangers and delights of all our addictions, from success and money to sex and insecurity.

CARRIE FISHER’S UPROARIOUS
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE

“At once harrowing and hilarious.”

—The New York Times

“A sharply irreverent, deliciously witty trip through Hollywood-land.”

—Jackie Collins

“The sort of novel that makes you want to call your friends to read passages out loud.”

—Women’s Wear Daily

“Searingly funny.”

—Vogue

“An accurately sardonic, wonderfully detailed novel.”

—New York Daily News

“A single woman’s answer to Nora Ephron’s Heartburn, a less-sexual version of Erica Jong’s Fear of Flying, the smart successor to Joan Didion’s Play It as It Lays.”

—Los Angeles Times

“Postcards from the Edge percolates with a wry sense of self-deprecating humor that keeps Suzanne and the reader moving in the right direction. . . . An entertaining, thoughtful novel about insecurities not found exclusively in Hollywood.”

—Nashville Tennessean

“Carrie Fisher has a unique and startling voice. . . . A born writer! She is seriously funny.”

—Mike Nichols

“Carrie gives her protagonist the kind of humor born of pain, anger, and a strong will to live. The narrative voice is a bit like Holden Caulfield. . . .”

—Time

“Dryly comic . . . entertaining, often exhilarating. . . . Definitely ultra-hip.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“Powerfully incisive and charmingly sweet. . . .”

—United Press International

“Fisher shows us the true plight of the mateless, smart, and neurotic character, familiar to us from Cynthia Heimel or Woody Allen; we also find the hip despair of Jay McInerney or Bret Easton Ellis, in this case a good-natured kind. . . . Postcards from the Edge is fun.”
