The best awful : a novel
(Book)

Previously published as: Best awful there is.

Lonely for a man herself, Suzanne decides that her medication is cramping her style, and she goes off her medswith disastrous results. The zmanicy side of the illness convinces her it would be a good idea to get a tattoo, cut off her hair, and head to Mexico with a burly ex-con and a stash of OxyContin. As she wakes up in Tijuana, the zdepressivey side kicks in, leading Suzanne through a series of surreal psychotic episodes before landing her in a mental hospital. With the help of her movie star mom, a circle of friends, and even her ex-husband, she begins the long journey back to sanity.
