Beloved and bestelling novelist Carrie Fisher's "autobiographical...funny, and touching, single woman's exploration of survival and motherhood in 1990s Hollywood" (Harper's Bazaar) is a dazzling romantic comedy full of "charm with a vengeance" (Entertainment Weekly). Hollywood screenwriter Cora Sharpe has what one of the endless intimates she thinks of as her "Committee" calls "a big, loud life." Her confidant and writing partner, Bud, has been on a manic-depressive roller coaster. Her dear friend William, AIDS-ridden, has finally taken leave of his live. And in the vacuum that follows his departure, Cora's romance with quiet gentle Ray has flickered and expired. Then Cora finds out she's pregnant, and even the Committee can't steer her through this one. Enter Cora's mother, Viv, with her "delusions of grandma" and a madcap scheme to kidnap Cora's grandpa from his nursing home. All she needs is a little help from Cora and Bud, who are only too happy to take their troubled act on the road...

This memoir from the bestselling author of Postcards from the Edge and Wishful Drinking gives you an intimate, gossip-filled look at what it's like to be the daughter of Hollywood royalty. Told with the same intimate style, brutal honesty, and uproarious wisdom that locked Wishful Drinking on the New York Times bestseller list for months, Shockaholic is the juicy account of Carrie Fisher's life. Covering a broad range of topics--from never-before-heard tales of Hollywood gossip to outrageous moments of celebrity desperation; from alcoholism to illegal drug use; from the familial relationships of Hollywood royalty to scandalous run-ins with noteworthy politicians; from shock therapy to talk therapy--Carrie Fisher gives an intimate portrait of herself, and she's one of the most indelible and powerful forces in culture at large today. Just as she has said of playing Princess Leia--"It isn't all sweetness and light sabers"--Fisher takes readers on a no-holds-barred narrative adventure, both laugh-out-loud funny and poignant.

From Carrie Fisher, the international movie star actress and the author of six bestselling books, most recently The Princess Diarist, comes her novel Surrender the Pink. In a humorous, bittersweet story, soap opera writer Dinah Kaufman attempts to force herself back into the life of her ex-husband, the playwright Rudy Giler.

The cult-classic novel that made Carrie Fisher a bestselling author before The Princess Diarist - brilliant, bold, hilarious.

This bestselling Hollywood novel by the witty author of Wishful Drinking and Shockaholic that was made into a movie starring Meryl Streep and Shirley MacLaine. When we first meet the extraordinary young actress Suzanne Vale, she's feeling like "something on the bottom of someone's shoe, and not even someone interesting." Suzanne is in the harrowing and hilarious throes of drug rehabilitation, trying to understand what happened to her life and how she managed to land in a "drug hospital." Just as Fisher's first film role--the precocious teenager in Shampoo--echoed her own Beverly Hills upbringing, her first book is set within the world she knows better than anyone else: Hollywood. This stunning literary debut chronicles Suzanne's vivid, excruciatingly funny experiences inside the clinic and as she comes to terms with life in the outside world. Postcards from the Edge is more than a book about stardom and drugs. It is a revealing look at the dangers--and delights--of all our addictions, from money and success to sex and insecurity.
