Conclusion
From the Paper:
"Postcards from the Edge is an examination of the Hollywood culture from the point of view from someone who has survived it and who has suffered some of its vagaries. This perspective makes the novel semi-autobiographical, although it is a work of fiction. Through Fisher's eyes, and through the eyes of her protagonist, the reader glimpses the life of an insider. Although it can be difficult to read due to its disjointed nature, Postcards is well worth the effort to attempt."
