Notă biografică

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. Her star-studded career includes roles in numerous films such as The Blues Brothers and When Harry Met Sally. She is the author of five bestselling novels, Wishful Drinking, Surrender 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. Fisher's experience with addiction and mental illness -- and her willingness to speak honestly about them -- have made her a sought-after speaker and respected advocate.

Recenzii

 'It's a classic Hollywood tale … but also a complete one-off … the stories come thick and fast … hysterically funny' 
‘What a joy to watch Fisher on screen! And she writes precisely as she looks: like a continually fresh and bold idea’ 
‘What makes Wishful Drinking remarkable is that it is, as far as I can make out, the invention of a whole new, and very specialised, literary genre’ 
‘She has a wonderful self-deprecating wit and total lack of self-pity – there is none of the I Will Survive grandiosity one expects from Hollywood memoirs’ 
Wishful Drinking should be read as an account, as touching and incisive as any, of bipolarity, addiction and motherhood’ 
‘In her candid and hilarious autobiography, Carrie reveals the bizarre secrets of her Hollywood upbringing’
'She is one of the rare inhabitants of La-La Land who can actually write' 
'Fisher has a talent for lacerating insight that masquerades as carefree self-deprecation' 
[Shockaholic] is the finest, funniest chronicler of the maddest celebrity mores.'
'Wishful Drinking is a touching and incisive account of bipolarity, addiction and motherhood.'

Descriere

In Wishful Drinking, Carrie Fisher tells 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 Warswhen 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.
