Carrie Fisher Book List: See All The Titles The ‘Star Wars’ Actress Wrote Before Her Death

Carrie Fisher is primarily known as Princess Leia Organa in “Star Wars,” but she had talents that weren’t shown off in the sci-fi franchise. The actress was also a writer. She had started writing shortly after she wrapped her first three “Star Wars” films and continued publishing books throughout her life.

Fisher died Tuesday at age 60, but just weeks before her fatal heart attack, the actress was promoting her latest memoir. “The Princess Diarist” came out on Nov. 22. Her final tome was actually her seventh full-length book. Let’s take a look back at all of the titles, both fiction and non-fiction, that Fisher’s fans can read.

“Postcards from the Edge” — In her debut novel, Fisher wrote about Suzanne Vale, a young actress who is in rehab for her drug addiction. The 1987 book was adapted into a 1990 movie by the same name, starring Meryl Streep and Shirley MacLaine.

“Surrender the Pink” — This 1990 novel follows a soap opera writer working through a divorce. She needs to give up on the “pink,” the idea that romance can make a woman’s life feel fulfilled.

“Delusions of Grandma” — Cora, a Hollywood screenwriter, writes letters to her unborn child in this 1993 book. Her relationship is falling apart as more crazy characters move into her house. Eventually, she gets away from her relationship by going to her mother. The two kidnap Cora’s grandfather from his nursing home to bring him back to his hometown.

“The Best Awful” — The 2004 follow-up to “Postcards from the Edge” shows Suzanne in trouble after her husband leaves her for another man. She decides to ditch her meds, which sends her into a series of psychotic episodes.

“Wishful Drinking” — The first of Fisher’s memoirs was adapted in 2008 from her one-woman show. She discussed growing up as the child of celebrities Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, learning her daughter’s father is gay and her first taste of fame after “Star Wars.”

“Shockaholic” — Fisher covered her struggles with addiction and bipolar disorder in her second memoir, published in 2011.

“The Princess Diarist” — Fisher’s final memoir has been creating headlines lately. The new book focuses on her late teen years. She details her brief affair with “Star Wars” co-star Harrison Ford and focuses on filming the first movie in the franchise, “A New Hope.”

Fisher had quite a writing career outside of her books too. She doctored scripts for “The Wedding Singer,” “Sister Act,” “Hook” and more. Script doctors make the screenplays for movies better. In a WebMD interview, she said that typically, fixing bad dialogue requires her to “make the women smarter and the love scenes better.”

Fisher’s books are available wherever books are sold.
