About this listen

Winner of the 2018 Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album.

When Carrie Fisher recently discovered the journals she kept during the filming of the first Star Wars movie, she was astonished to see what they had preserved - plaintive love poems, unbridled musings with youthful naiveté, and a vulnerability that she barely recognized. Today, her fame as an author, actress, and pop-culture icon is indisputable, but in 1977, Carrie Fisher was just a (sort-of) regular teenager.

With these excerpts from her handwritten notebooks, The Princess Diarist is Fisher's intimate and revealing recollection of what happened on one of the most famous film sets of all time - and what developed behind the scenes. And today, as she reprises her most iconic role for the latest Star Wars trilogy, Fisher also ponders the joys and insanity of celebrity, and the absurdity of a life spawned by Hollywood royalty, only to be surpassed by her own outer-space royalty. Laugh-out-loud hilarious and endlessly quotable, The Princess Diarist brims with the candour and introspection of a diary while offering shrewd insight into the type of stardom that few will ever experience.

This book was the best company ever in the less than a day I enjoyed every single word of it as it’s a rollercoaster ride of an extraordinary big life shared with a disarming sense of intimacy, unbridled humour that constantly had me in fits of laughter & the kind of depth of vulnerability that cannot be duplicated. Incredible. 👍🏼👍🏼 #fivestars

Loved it! Listening to Carrie Fisher narrate her own book so soon after her passing was poignant and surreal at times. This is my first Carrie Fisher book and I loved it! Her writing and observations are funny and clever. I highly recommend!

My first Carrie Fisher book and first Audio book.
