Prozac Highway

Prozac Highway is the story of Jam, a fortysomething Canadian performance artist who makes her living as a cleaning lady, makes her love over the Internet, and makes up her own definitions of sanity. By using an engaging first-person narrative voice and excerpts from e-mail love letters, Persimmon Blackbridge tells a sad, funny story and in the process questions the definition of self in today's cyberworld. Is the true Jam a harried cleaning lady, a sexy, witty Internet paramour, or a lesbian Everywoman who is burnt out on love, work, and romance? Blackbridge's gift, as demonstrated both in Prozac Highway and in her previous book, Sunnybrook: A True Tale with Lies, is to turn our murkiest, most serious concerns into engaging, intelligent fiction.
