"This sequel to the bestselling Postcards from the Edge contains Carrie&#8217;s Fisher&#8217;s trademark intelligence and wit that brought Postcards to the Hollywood movie screen.When we left Suzanne Vale at the end of Carrie Fisher&#8217;s bestselling Postcards from the Edge, she had survived drug abuse, rehab, and Hollywood celebrity. The Best Awful takes Suzanne back to the edge with a new set of troubles&#8212;not the least of which is that her studio executive husband turned out to be gay and has left her for a man.Lonely for a man herself, Suzanne decides that her medication is cramping her style, and she goes off her meds&#8212;with disastrous results. The &#8220;manic&#8221; side of the illness convinces her it would be a good idea to get a tattoo, cut off her hair, and head to Mexico with a burly ex-con and a stash of OxyContin. As she wakes up in Tijuana, the &#8220;depressive&#8221; side kicks in, leading Suzanne through a series of surreal psychotic episodes before landing her in a mental hospital. With the help of her movie star mom, a circle of friends, and even her ex-husband, she begins the long journey back to sanity.The Best Awful is by turns highly comic and darkly tragic, a roller-coaster ride through the dizzying highs and crushing lows of manic depression, delivered with fast and furious wit."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
