It’s a great shock, then, to read Postcards from the Edge in this modern context. It’s her most famous work as an author and it just so happens to be a thinly fictionalized version of Fisher’s own relationship with her mother. Author Carrie Fisher’s unexpected death (followed closely by her mother, Debbie Reynolds’ own passing) last December also gave the book a sort of notoriety. First of all, the movie adaptation is extremely well regarded and features sterling performances from Meryl Streep and Shirley MacLaine as a complicated mother and daughter in Hollywood. It’s difficult to come into Postcards from the Edge without a certain expectation. ![]()
