Elizabeth Wurtzel

Studio 360
The World

One classic reinvention fantasy goes like this: you leave a square, respectable job and write a best-selling book.  Elizabeth Wurtzel  did just that – but in reverse. She was in her twenties when  Prozac Nation  made her famous overnight. She became a rock critic and wrote a memoir about her addictions. Then she did the not-obvious thing and went to law school. Wurtzel explains to Kurt Andersen why intellectual property law is where’s it’s at.
