Prozac Nation
Young and Depressed in America
Sinopsis
Elizabeth Wurtzels New York Times best-selling memoir, with a new afterword
"Sparkling, luminescent prose . . . A powerful portrait of one girls journey through the purgatory of depression and back." —New York Times
"A book that became a cultural touchstone." —New Yorker
Elizabeth Wurtzel writes with her finger on the faint pulse of an overdiagnosed generation whose ruling icons are Kurt Cobain, Xanax, and pierced tongues. Her famous coming-of-age memoir of her bouts with depression and skirmishes with drugs, Prozac Nation is a witty and sharp account of the psychopharmacology of an era, a landmark work of mental health literature for readers of Girl, Interrupted and Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar.
Raw, funny, and relentlessly honest, Wurtzel’s account defined depression for a generation.
Unflinching Portrait of Depression: Goes beyond diagnosis to explore the black waves, the blankness, and the sheer exhaustion of living with clinical depression. Life on Prozac: A sharp, witty look at a life managed by Prozac, Lithium, and Xanax, and the search for a cure in a bottle. A Gen X Cultural Touchstone: Set against a backdrop of Kurt Cobain and pierced tongues, this is the book that gave a voice to the overdiagnosed, alienated, and brilliantly alive generation of the 90s. Witty, Literary Prose: For readers of Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar and Girl, Interrupted, this is a fiercely intelligent and darkly funny memoir that sparkles with luminescent prose.
