Postcards from the Edge

“At once harrowing and hilarious.”

—The New York Times

“A sharply irreverent, deliciously witty trip through Hollywood-land.”

—Jackie Collins

“The sort of novel that makes you want to call your friends to read passages out loud.”

—Women’s Wear Daily

“Searingly funny.”

—Vogue

“An accurately sardonic, wonderfully detailed novel.”

—New York Daily News

“A single woman’s answer to Nora Ephron’s Heartburn, a less-sexual version of Erica Jong’s Fear of Flying, the smart successor to Joan Didion’s Play It as It Lays.”

—Los Angeles Times

“Postcards from the Edge percolates with a wry sense of self-deprecating humor that keeps Suzanne and the reader moving in the right direction…. An entertaining, thoughtful novel about insecurities not found exclusively in Hollywood.”

—Nashville Tennessean

“Carrie Fisher has a unique and startling voice…. A born writer! She is seriously funny.”

—Mike Nichols

“Carrie gives her protagonist the kind of humor born of pain, anger, and a strong will to live. The narrative voice is a bit like Holden Caulfield….”

—Time

“Dryly comic… entertaining, often exhilarating…. Definitely ultra-hip.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“Powerfully incisive and charmingly sweet….”

—United Press International

“Fisher shows us the true plight of the mateless, smart, and neurotic character, familiar to us from Cynthia Heimel or Woody Allen; we also find the hip despair of Jay McInerney or Bret Easton Ellis, in this case a good-natured kind…. Postcards from the Edge is fun.”

—Newsday

“With surprising literary artistry, Carrie Fisher swims through relationship-infested waters, braves cocaine blizzards, glitz spills, sushi tsunami, and bon-mot attacks to show us what despair is like when it refuses to take itself seriously.”

—Tom Robbins

“Snappy dialogue, sensitive insights, and witty asides… Fisher… brings a real talent to bear on her depiction of Hollywood.”

—Publishers Weekly

“Tantalizing… funny.”

—Columbia State

“Surprising, hilarious, breathtaking, a wry and witty commentary on life in the fast lanes of Freewayland.”

—San Jose Mercury News

“A wonderfully funny, brash, and biting novel, the most startling literary debut since Jay McInerney’s Bright Lights, Big City…. This is a laugh-out-loud book.”

—Washington Post Book World

“Intelligent, original, focused, insightful. A serious piece of work.”

—Los Angeles Times Book Review
