Like most of Fisher's books, this novel is semi-autobiographical and fictionalizes events from her real life.[3] The book features the protagonist character Suzanne Vale that first appeared in Postcards from the Edge.[4] The book fictionalizes the author's relationship with Bryan Lourd, the father of her daughter Billie Lourd.[5]
The Best Awful There Is was later published with the shorter title The Best Awful and is now largely known by this title.
