I crush up my pills and snort them like dust. They are my sugar. They are the sweetness in the days that have none. They drip through me like tupelo honey. Then they are gone. Then I need more. I always need more. For all of my life I have needed more. A precocious literary light, Elizabeth Wurtzel published her groundbreaking memoir of depression, Prozac Nation, at the tender age of twenty-six. A worldwide success, a cultural phenomenon, the book opened doors to a rarefied world about which Elizabeth had only dared to dream during her middle-class upbringing in New York City. But no success could staunch her continuous battle with depression. The terrible truth was that nothing had changed the emptiness inside Elizabeth. Her relationships universally failed; she was fired from every magazine job she held. Indeed, the absence of fulfillment in the wake of success became yet another seemingly insurmountable hurdle. When her doctor prescribed Ritalin to boost the effects of her antidepression medication, Elizabeth jumped. And the Ritalin worked. And worked. And worked. Within weeks, she was grinding up the pills and snorting them for a greater effect. It reached the point where she couldn't go more than five minutes without a fix. It was Ritalin, and then cocaine, and then more Ritalin. In a harrowing account, Elizabeth Wurtzel contemplates what it means to be in love with something in your blood that takes over your body, becomes the life force within you -- and could ultimately kill you. More, Now, Again is an astonishing and timely story of a new kind of addiction. But it is also a story of survival. Elizabeth Wurtzel hits rock bottom, gets clean, uses again, and finally gains control over her drug and her life. As honest as a confession and as heartfelt as a prayer, More, Now, Again recounts a courageous fight back to a life worth living.

More, Now, Again is half truth, half lies- which is more or less true for any memoir that has ever been written. 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.
