Wishful Drinking

By Carrie Fisher.

 

Wikipedia calls this an autobiographical humor book.

 

I can see that. It's pithy, jokie, lots of small stories about the insanity in her life and a few great observations about addiction.  Reading this after Fisher's death makes it as memorable for what she left out as what she wrote down.

 

What's odd is that she avoids discussing the painful parts of her life. She discuss the painful parts of her mothers life, for example. But she never really covers the details of her addictions.
