More, Now, Again: A Memoir of Addiction

Despite the worldwide success of her ground-breaking memoir, Prozac Nation, and the accompanying fame and literary accolades, nothing had changed inside Elizabeth Wurtzel. She still felt a terrible failure -- at relationships, at maintaining a career, at feeling fulfilled. Exhausted from trying to make sense of a world she saw as increasingly isolating, she quit New York and headed for Florida. But not before securing from her psychiatrist a prescription for Ritalin.

Alone in her apartment, Wurtzel would grind up and snort as many as forty Ritalin pills a day. Then cocaine. Then more Ritalin. In a harrowing and heartfelt account, Elizabeth Wurtzel examines what it means to fall in love with something in your blood, something that becomes the life force inside you, and something that will ultimately kill you. But this is also a story of survival. More, Now, Again is about addiction, obsession, relapse, and ultimately of triumph. It is a courageous fight back to a life worth living.
