    <![CDATA[When we first meet the extraordinary young actress Suzanne Vale, she's feeling like &quot;something on the bottom of someone's shoe, and not even someone interesting.&quot; 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 &quot;drug hospital.&quot;  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. More of a fiction montage than a novel in the conventional sense, this stunning literary debut chronicles Suzanne's vivid, excruciatingly funny experiences-from the clinic to her coming to terms with life in the outside world. Conversations with her psychiatrist-&quot;What worries me is, what if this guy is really the one for me and I haven't had enough therapy to be comfortable with having found him?&quot;; a high-concept, eighties-style affair-&quot;The only way to become intimate for me is repeated exposure. My route to intimacy is routine. I establish a pattern with somebody and then I notice when they're not there?&quot;  Sparked by Suzanne's-and Carrie Fisher's-deliciously wry sense of the absurd, 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.]]>
