Delusions of Grandma

Delusions of Grandma is a novel by actress and author Carrie Fisher that was published in 1994.

Like most of Fisher's books, this novel is semi-autobiographical and fictionalizes events seemingly from her real life.

Beloved and best-selling novelist Carrie Fisher’s “autobiographical…funny, and touching, single woman’s exploration of survival and motherhood in 1990s Hollywood” (Harper’s Bazaar) is a dazzling romantic comedy full of “charm with a vengeance” (Entertainment Weekly).

Hollywood screenwriter Cora Sharpe has what one of the endless intimates she thinks of as her “Committee” calls “a big, loud life.” Her confidant and writing partner, Bud, has been on a manic-depressive roller coaster. Her dear friend William, AIDS-ridden, has finally taken leave of his live. And in the vacuum that follows his departure, Cora’s romance with quiet gentle Ray has flickered and expired.

Then Cora finds out she’s pregnant, and even the Committee can’t steer her through this one. Enter Cora’s mother, Viv, with her “delusions of grandma” and a madcap scheme to kidnap Cora’s grandpa from his nursing home. All she needs is a little help from Cora and Bud, who are only too happy to take their troubled act on the road…

Carrie Frances Fisher (October 21, 1956 – December 27, 2016) was an American actress and writer. She played Princess Leia in the original Star Wars films (1977–1983) and reprised the role in The Force Awakens (2015), The Last Jedi (2017)—a posthumous release that was dedicated to her—and The Rise of Skywalker (2019), the latter using unreleased footage from The Force Awakens.

Fisher wrote several semi-autobiographical novels, including Postcards from the Edge and an autobiographical one-woman play, and its nonfiction book, Wishful Drinking, based on the play. She wrote the screenplay for the film version of Postcards from the Edge which garnered her a nomination for the BAFTA Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, and her one-woman stage show of Wishful Drinking received a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special. She worked on other writers' screenplays as a script doctor, including tightening the scripts for Hook (1991), Sister Act (1992), The Wedding Singer (1998), and many of the films from the Star Wars franchise, among others. An Entertainment Weekly article from May 1992 described Fisher as "one of the most sought-after doctors in town."

Fisher was the daughter of singer Eddie Fisher and actress Debbie Reynolds. She and her mother appear together in Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, a documentary about their relationship. It premiered at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival.
