Carrie Fisher has lived more lives than most galaxies can hold. Born to Hollywood royalty, the daughter of Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, she grew up amid fame, scandal, and more drama than a season of reality TV. At nineteen, she became Princess Leia—and instantly a global icon, an action figure, and a punchline.
In Wishful Drinking, Fisher turns her chaotic, star-studded life into a brilliant comedy act on the page. From marriages to Paul Simon and mishaps with Elizabeth Taylor to addiction, electroshock therapy, and motherhood, she shares every outrageous detail with biting honesty and self-deprecating humor.
Wild, witty, and unexpectedly heartfelt, Wishful Drinking is Fisher’s hilarious confession: fame is absurd, family is complicated, and survival is the best revenge.
