More, Now, Again

It had reached the point where she couldn’t go more than five minutes without grinding up a pill and snorting it. Despite the worldwide success of her groundbreaking memoir, Prozac Nation – and the fame and accolades that accompanied it – nothing had changed inside Elizabeth Wurtzel. She saw herself as a terrible failure. She couldn’t maintain a relationship. She was fired from every job she held. Exhausted from trying to make sense of a world she saw as increasingly phony, she left New York and headed for Florida. But not before securing from her psychiatrist a prescription for Ritalin (the drug prescribed to treat hyper-activity in children).This is an astonishing and timely memoir. It’s about the search for happiness, about depravity and the will to survive even the most breathtaking self-abuse.]]>
