Description

After all, after four hit novels, Carrie Fisher comes clean (well, sort of ) with the crazy truth that may be her life in her first-ever memoir.

In Wishful Drinking, adapted from her one-woman stage show, Fisher reveals what it used to be in point of fact like to grow up a product of “Hollywood in-breeding,” come of age on the set of a little movie called Star Wars, and transform a cultural icon and bestselling action figure at the age of nineteen.

Intimate, hilarious, and sobering, Wishful Drinking is Fisher, taking a look at her life as she best remembers it (what do you are expecting after electroshock therapy?). It’s a fantastic tale: the child of Hollywood royalty — Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher — homewrecked by Elizabeth Taylor, marrying (then divorcing, then dating) Paul Simon, having her likeness merchandized on everything from Princess Leia shampoo to PEZ dispensers, learning the father of her daughter forgot to tell her he used to be gay, and in the end waking up one morning and finding a friend dead beside her in bed.

Wishful Drinking, the show, has been a runaway success. Entertainment Weekly declared it “drolly hysterical” and the Los Angeles Times called it a “Beverly Hills yard sale of juicy anecdotes.” This is Carrie Fisher at her best — revealing her worst. She tells her true and outrageous story of her unusual reality with her inimitable wit, unabashed self-deprecation, and buoyant, infectious humor.
