The apparently tipsy drinker on the cover of Carrie Fisher's memoir sports Princess Leia's tightly knotted "cinnamon bun" hairstyle. That shouldn't surprise us: Fisher has acted in dozens of films and television shows, but her visage seems inextricably connected with her role as Leia in the Star Wars epic. In fact, the media-beleaguered actress once quipped that if she went senile, she would probably slip into her Jedi persona. Wishful Drinking doesn't, however, dwell long on Skywalker lure; because of her drinking and drug problems, Fisher's preoccupations have always been much more personal than interstellar. This memoir possesses the raw power and sharp edge of her fiction, especially her debut novel, Postcards from the Edge.
