Description

Lastly, after four strike books, Carrie Fisher comes clear (well, kind of) with all the insane reality that's her existence in her first-ever memoir. In Wishful Drinking, modified from her one-woman stage show, Fisher shows what it had been enjoy to develop up an item of "Hollywood in-reproduction," come of age to the group of only a little film called Star Wars, and turn into a national symbol and best-selling action-figure in the age of nineteen. Personal, amusing, and sobering, Wishful Consuming is Fisher, taking a look at her existence as she best recalls it (what would you expect after electroshock treatment?). It is an amazing story: the kid of Hollywood royalty -- Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher -- homewrecked by Elizabeth Taylor, marrying (then divorcing, then relationship) Paul Simon, having her similarity merchandized on from Princess Leia wash to PEZ dispensers, understanding the daddy of her daughter neglected to inform her he was gay, and fundamentally getting up one day and getting a buddy lifeless beside her during sex.
