Descriptions du produit

From Amazon.com

Elizabeth Wertzel 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. --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.


From Publishers Weekly

Twenty-six-year-old Wurtzel, a former critic of popular music for New York and the New Yorker, recounts in this luridly intimate memoir the 10 years of chronic, debilitating depression that preceded her treatment with Prozac in 1990. After her parents' acrimonious divorce, Wurtzel was raised by her mother on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The onset of puberty, she recalls, also marked the onset of recurrent bouts of acute depression, sending her spiraling into episodes of catatonic despair, masochism and hysterical crying. Here she unsparingly details her therapists, hospitalizations, binges of sex and drug use and the paralyzing spells of depression which afflicted her in high school and as a Harvard undergraduate and culminated in a suicide attempt and ultimate diagnosis of atypical depression, a severe, episodic psychological disorder. The title is misleading, for Wurtzel skimps on sociological analysis and remains too self-involved to justify her contention that depression is endemic to her generation. By turns emotionally powerful and tiresomely solipsistic, her book straddles the line between an absorbing self-portrait and a coy bid for public attention. First serial to Vogue, Esquire and Mouth2Mouth.

First Sentence
Some catastrophic situations invite clarity, explode in split moments: You smash your hand through a windowpane and then there is blood and shattered glass stained with red all over the place; you fall out a window and break some bones and scrape some skin. Lire la première page

2.0étoiles sur 5 Disappointing., Fév 22 2009
Par K Wilson (Vancouver, BC) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Prozac Nation (Paperback)
There are some interesting revelations in Prozac Nation, but most of it comes across as more whiny and self-absorbed than anything. There are many books out there that offer better depictions of depression. The title is also misleading, as the entire book centers only around the author's own experiences and it isn't until the epilogue that she even tries to make a comment on our "Prozac nation".

1.0étoiles sur 5 Umm....Borderline Personality Disorder?, Déc 27 2005
Par Un client
This review is from: Prozac Nation (Paperback)
From the break up to the attention-seeking suicide attempts and the trying to make herself depressed, it is only clear that this girl had or maybe still has borderline personality disorder.
I read the book when I was 16 and I loved it because I thought I could now put what I felt into words and finally get help. But the truth is, this book only makes you crave for more and more drama in your life and I only got worse and ended up attempting suicide(several times) and following a very similar path to elizabeth.
It's a shame and it's sad but it's true.
I have borderline personality disorder(BPD).
I am a lot better now to be able to see clearly into the kind of effect this book has had on me.
I used to love the author for writing the book but now that I'm older, I see it for what it really is: a book you can only get worse from(if you have BPD or even depression).
Also, I 'd like to add that some people might despise those who act the way the author did (by not wanting to get better from her depressed state of mind and attempting suicide as a cry for help and to look 'cool' or be accepted) but that's what BPD is all about: impulsivity and making irrational decisions, confusion, chaos.
You really have to live it to understand it.

1 star because it is a downer (which is the part that may go unnoticed to many).
