Book Reviews of Prozac Nation (Movie Tie-In)
Book Review: A culture of disease epitomized
Summary: 4 Stars
This book was beautifully written and, I presume to say, relevant to everyone who might read it, not solely those suffering from a mental or mood disorder. That being said, though, it offers nothing for resolution or prescription. There is no process of self-improvement in the book only pitiful self-absorbtion and -lamenting. Wurtzel has truly brought the honesty about depression (and manic-depression, which is a wholy different beast) out of the proverbial closet but in doing so has contributed nothing to society at large.
Where is the merit in a book so clearly didactic with nothing to teach? When did we begin worshipping at the altar of disease and dysfunction?
Summary of Prozac Nation (Movie Tie-In)
A memoir of sex, drugs, and depression indicts an overmedicated America as it chronicles the fortunes of a Harvard-educated child of divorce who lived in the fast lane as a music critic, always fighting her chronic depression. Tour.Elizabeth Wurtzel 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.
