"WRENCHING AND COMICAL, self indulgent and self aware, Prozac Nation possesses the raw candor of Joan Didion's essays, the irritating emotional exhibitionism of Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar, and the wry, dark humor of a Bob Dylan song." -The New York Times
"[WURTZEL] IS SMART, she is funny...she is thoughtful and...she is very, very brave. Wurtzel portrays, from the inside out, an emotional life perpetually spent outrunning the relentless pursuit of what she describes as a black wave, often sacrificing her likability on the altar of her truth." -Vanity Fair
"A VERY IMPORTANT BOOK, particularly to the countless number of people who aren't sure what's wrong with them but are suffering from the negative thinking, erratic behavior, and dark moods associated with clinical depression. A powerful self-portrait...well worth reading."
-San Francisco Bay Guardian
"THE SADDEST, FUNNIEST, and ultimately, most triumphant book about youthful depression I've come across. It reads like a mixture of J. D. Salinger and Sylvia Plath, with some Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen thrown in for good measure.... [Wurtzel] is one canny and entertaining observer of her generation: if you've been wondering why Kurt Cobain meant what he did-what it feels like to be young, gifted, and black of spirit-this book is the CD, tape, video, and literary answer all in one."
