«Nación Prozac» is the autobiographical book by Elizabeth Wurtzel, published by Ediciones B. in paperback (344 pages, in Spanish).
The author recounts in the first person her struggle against depression from childhood, marked by her parents' divorce, through university, where drugs and sex act as escape routes. Prozac appears as the way out of that anguish and as a symbol of the panacea of the nineties, in a testimony about mental health.
Collection «Tiempos modernos». Translation by Miguel Martínez-Lage. Original title: «Prozac Nation».
Recommended for adults interested in memoirs and personal accounts about mental health.
Elizabeth Lee Wurtzel was an American writer, journalist, and lawyer known for the confessional memoir Prozac Nation, which she published at the age of 27. Her work often focused on chronicling her personal struggles with depression, addiction, career, and relationships. Wurtzel's work drove a boom in confessional writing and the personal memoir genre during the 1990s, and she was viewed as a voice of Generation X. In her later life, Wurtzel worked briefly as an attorney before her death from breast cancer.
