new book on TV's Nurse Jackie and its star Edie Falco.


  'Heroism, Celebrity and Therapy in Nurse Jackie' 
<https://www.amazon.co.uk/Heroism-Celebrity-Therapy-Routledge-Television/dp/1138238503/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1539180062&sr=1-1&refinements=p_27%3AChristopher+Pullen> 
published by Routledge:


This book presents an examination of the television series /Nurse 
Jackie/, making connections between the representational processes and 
the audience consumption of the series. A key point of reference is the 
political and performative potential of /Nurse Jackie /with regards to 
its progressive representation of prescription drug addiction and its 
relationship to the concept of quality television. It deconstructs 
/Nurse Jackie /’s discursive potential, involving intersections with 
contemporary notions of genre, heroism, celebrity, therapy and feminism. 
At the same time this book foregrounds the self-refl exive educational 
potential of the series, largely enabled by the scriptwriters and the 
leading actor Edie Falco.


Also when I did the book launch in New York - I did a blog relating St 
Vincent's Hospital​
