Prozac Nation (Movie Tie-In) by
Elizabeth Wurtzel
You Either Get It Or You Dont.
Elizabeth Wurtzel writes with her finger in the faint pulse of a generation
whose ruling icons are Kurt Cobain, Xanax, and pierced tongues. A
memoir of her bouts with depression and skirmishes with drugs, Prozac
Nation still manages to be a witty and sharp account of the
psychopharmacology of an era.
Since everyone comes here after they have read the books, I will say a few
words to them last. If you havent read it, its definitely worth the read, even
though its not a glamorous or an enjoyable one in the traditional sense.
That wasnt the point when Elizabeth wrote it, and she says so in the
epilogue, and I agree with her. Remember that she is 10, 12, and 13, when
she is writing at the beginning, and this in itself is horrifying.
Taking ones time getting through this book is essential, since different
feeling pop up if you keep reading it straight through that are irritating and
annoying. But this is essential to the main effect of this book. If you put the
book down, and pick it up later, empathy will return. There is a lot of
repetition in this book, but like I said, (ha, ha), this is really what gives it its
power when you finish it. Thats what depression is like. A very important
book. For those who already read it and dont like it for its honesty you
either get it or you dont.
