Prozac Nation -- Elizabeth Wurtzel

Thank you to everyone for participating in today's meeting. Klein mentioned Prozac more than once in his book. So, it seems appropriate that we now move on to Elizabeth Wurtzel's Prozac Nation. There is also a film adaptation (from 2001) starring Christina Ricci for those who might be interested. Looking forward to seeing you at the next meeting.

"A book that became a cultural touchstone." -- The New Yorker

Elizabeth Wurtzel writes with her finger in the faint pulse of an overdiagnosed generation whose ruling icons are Kurt Cobain, Xanax, and pierced tongues. In this 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.
