Elizabeth Wurtzel fills conversations she’s had while stoned, having full-blown anxiety attacks, drugged with tranquilizers, and when she was very young with acute detail. Nobody remembers entire conversations. I continued on with the book, giving her freedom to do with her work. I came upon a particular part in the section “Relapse”, when she discusses being on Bill Maher’s show, “Politically Incorrect”. She said she was wearing a “pretty dress” and that she was “silent” and that the other guests were Gloria Allred and Al Franken. I decided to Youtube the show she was on and see it for myself.She was not wearing a pretty dress, she was wearing jeans. The guests were not Gloria Allred or Al Franken, but unknown celebrities of the time. She was not silent but actively participating in the conversation and boasting about education. Gloria Allred was never a guest on his show, though Al Franken was, seven years later. Which made me even more suspect about everything else she wrote about in the book. What else did she lie about? Look, I won’t disrespect her- she passed away several months ago from a terrible battle with cancer and she has lived a very challenging life. Her first book, Prozac Nation, was a ground-breaking success that changed the way we talk about mental illness. The way we understand it, even. I cannot and I won’t attempt to discredit her story.All I can say is, when you read memoirs, take conversations with a grain of salt. All of those long-winded conversations that sound beautiful and powerful, in all likelihood, never happened. When her therapist supposedly called her mother “crazy”, that was probably her using her artistic freedom to impose that on her therapist. No psychiatric professional, especially in a reputable institution like Silver Hill Hospital, would call another person “crazy”. Especially someone they never met.I recommend this book only because it tells the rest of Elizabeth Wurtzel’s story. It explains how terrible addiction is. It shows how much she tried to stay away from drugs. And how beautiful of a person she was, and how damaged she was. Do keep in mind, though, that a lot of this work is fiction. It’s fiction used to explain the real parts of her life. And there is real value. And she will be missed.Elizabeth Wurtzel was a true icon of the 90’s. She changed a lot of people’s lives. She introduced me to the memoir. She helped me to understand another person’s perspective on depression, and as a teenager, it was the most real and poignant perspective on depression I had ever experienced from someone else. And I related to it. I am thankful for her work. And I am thankful for her life. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Important insight *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 29, 2022* I miss Elizabeth. She made significant contributions to the conversations on mental illness and addiction. Someone this articulate committing to a book-length narrative describing addiction serves those with the same affliction who aren’t able to communicate so thoroughly and specifically or don’t have the platform. Elizabeth had so many books left to write- her happy ending marriage, her experiences living near the trade center on September 11, the discovery that she’d been lied to for a lifetime about the identity of her biological father and the realization that it was someone she knew and had a relationship with, someone whose adopted daughter she played with growing up, someone who had been at her wedding before she knew he was her father. He was a renowned civil rights photographer and had another daughter. The story should be told. Hopefully, a biographer will pick up where Elizabeth left off and tell the comprehensive history of a literary voice from interviews with the people who knew her, since the only perspective we’ve ever had is Elizabeth’s. More, Now, Again is insight into the tangled roots of addiction and the challenges of treatment. Also, important evidence of the way addiction doesn’t discriminate demographically or socioeconomically, in spite of the stereotypes and racial constitution of the prison drug offender population. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seriously, Skip Most of the End *by P***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 30, 2021* 3.4/5 - Elizabeth Wurtzel Is An Entertainingly Awful PersonWish it was more like the author said, “It is all cocaine, all the time,” but the book could lose 100 repetitive pages at the end about the recovery house that seems more like a pre-hipster flophouse. The true last 50 pgs seem rushed to write off her recovery as randomly religious.The first few hundred pages are as Pez-poppable as her Ritalin: self-exile to anonymous FL, a semi-crush on Timothy McVeigh, bungled TV interviews, self-pitying shoplifting. Even when the author of Prozac Nation—aka the OG Karen, the quintessential Gen Xer—comes off as self-righteous and snobby HERE, it’s entertaining. The writing can be so scattered and angry and essayist, but it suits her state of mind amidst piecing together her other book, B!tch.Nonetheless, if we knew her IRL, she’d be insufferable because nobody tells her no. I wish we knew what would’ve happened if someone pushed back on her/addiction ONCE. Everyone is somehow endlessly sympathetic or enabling for a girl who begrudges her friend for missing her birthday party—even though it’s because she almost died on the way there, not that Wurtzel ever visits her in the hospital. Too busy sleeping with married me and lying to her editors for months on end. A prime example of how unlikable characters can still be interesting. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/8206670-more-now-again-a-memoir-of-addiction](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/8206670-more-now-again-a-memoir-of-addiction) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
