( ) A totally unremarkable book by Carrie Fisher that was a disappointment considering the positive reviews Fisher received for her writing. Indeed, the title Delusions of Grandma is the best part of the book. The plot isn't much; mainly an opportunity to write about some famous (thinly disguised) friends, as a heavily pregnant writer pens letters to her unborn child. Alternating between hauntingly introspective and hilariously irreverent, Carrie Fisher's Delusions of Grandma is about life, death, and the movie business. Semi-autobiographical in nature, Fisher writes with an honesty that will move you in one chapter and make you laugh in the next. She fills her prose with wordplay that entertains and gives insight into her characters. The basic story focuses on Cora, a Hollywood script-doctor who, over the course of the story, falls in and out of love, helps a dying friend, discovers that she's pregnant by her ex, and helps her eccentric mother spring her grandfather from a nursing home. The vignette-style of the plot allows each of these events to have a beginning, middle, and end while the overall story moves along, adding a level of authenticity and a true-to-life quality to Fisher's writing. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
