Elizabeth Wurtzel writes with her finger on the faint pulse of an overdiagnosed generation whose ruling icons are Kurt Cobain, Xanax, and pierced tongues. Her famous memoir of her bouts with depression and skirmishes with drugs,
Prozac Nation
is a witty and sharp account of the psychopharmacology of an era for readers of
Girl, Interrupted
and Sylvia Plath’s
The Bell Jar.
