This generation prayed for Kurt Cobain, Suzanne Kaysen and Sid Vicious. Rejected by society, misunderstood by their contemporaries, young people searched for their place in the world in between nervous breakdowns, suicide attempts and the use of illegal drugs. The gloomy phantasmagoria of instability and the alluring veil of depression are all that the excited 1980s are associated with. "Prozac Nation" is a collective cry for help, put into the mouth of Elizabeth Wurtzel herself, the victim and voice of that strange era. A LONG AWAITED EDITION OF A LEGENDARY AUTO FICTION! "Prozac Nation" is the cult memoir of American writer Elizabeth Wurtzel, called "the voice of Generation X." The novel became not only a national bestseller, but also an entire cultural phenomenon, describing the life of young people in the 1980s. Highly social topics are raised here: HIV, alcohol and drug use, mental disorders, promiscuity, nervous breakdowns. The problems of the younger generation are described with amazing frankness and emotional vulnerability, which touches the soul of anyone who has read at least a few lines from this book. Olga Breininger's translation fully conveys the atmosphere of the book, only enhancing its naked sincerity.
