challenging dark emotional hopeful informative reflective sad tense slow-paced

3.5

Beautifully written. I learned an entirely new vocabulary from Wurtzel’s intricate writing style. The way she writes about depression is almost beyond words. She makes a very individualized experience seem relatable in a sense. However, this book was redundant and could have been shortened to less than 300 pages.

dark emotional sad medium-paced

4.0

Im Alter von 27 Jahren schrieb Elizabeth Wurtzel einen autobiographischen Roman über ihr Leben mit Depressionen, die bei ihr im Alter von  11 Jahren (im Summer Camp) starteten. Das Buch wurde 1994 veröffentlicht und 2001 mit Christina Ricci in der Hauptrolle verfilmt. 

Ich habe das Buch im Original gelesen (die deutsche Übersetzung muss wohl sehr schlecht sein), und obwohl es fast 30 Jahre alt ist, ist es immer noch hochaktuell. Es ist sehr gut geschrieben, man kann sich gut in die Autorin hineinversetzen, deren Leben aus einer Spirale von Therapie und Rückschlägen besteht; und dennoch schreibt sie so klar und reflektiert. Zudem spiegelt es sehr gut den Zeitgeist Amerikas Ende der 1970er und der 80er wieder.
