TROUBLE Fay Weldon BIO Back to top. ARTICLE For over thirty years, Fay Weldon has been chronicling the adventures of women - most of them damaged by men in some way - with spunk and style. Weldon's characters don't give in, they fight back with spectacular schemes that leave their would-be oppressors sputtering. Who can forget Ruth, the heroine of LIFE AND LOVES OF A SHE DEVIL, wreaking havoc on the lives of her ex-husband and his new wife? Or the amazing Alexandra Ludd, who discovers her marriage was a sham and sets out to right some serious wrongs in WORST FEARS? And in TROUBLE, when Spicer says to his wife, "The important thing for you, Annette, is not to think too much. Just accept," sparks fly. Faye Weldon grew up in New Zealand with her mother, sister, and grandmother. She has said that she "grew up believing the world was peopled by females." Perhaps it was this experience that gives her such insight into the war between the sexes. In addition to writing twenty novels, Weldon is also the author of a number of short story collections. Her most recent collection, WICKED WOMEN, is one of her best. Separate sections entitled "Tales of Wicked Women," "Tales of Wicked Men," and "Tales of Wicked Children," chronicle the ups and downs of modern family life.

Fay Weldon Uit Wikipedia, de vrije encyclopedie Ga naar: navigatie zoeken Fay Weldon Alvechurch 22 september ) is een feministisch Engels schrijfster . Haar boeken gaan vaak over vrouwen die door de patriarchale structuur van de samenleving in het nauw komen. Fay Weldon werd in 1931 in Engeland geboren als Franklin Birkinshaw , in een literaire familie: zowel haar grootvader Edgar Jepson als haar moeder Margaret (onder het pseudoniem Pearl Bellairs ) waren schrijver. Vijf weken na haar geboorte gingen zij en haar moeder terug naar Nieuw-Zeeland . Weldon woonde tot haar veertiende in Auckland , waar haar vader dokter was, maar na de scheiding van haar ouders vertrok Weldon met haar moeder en haar zus Jane naar Engeland. Ze zag haar vader nooit terug. Weldon ging naar de Universiteit van St. Andrews in Schotland , waar ze psychologie en economie studeerde, maar vertrok naar Londen toen ze een kind had gekregen zonder getrouwd te zijn. Kort daarna trouwde ze met Ronald Bateman, een 20 jaar oudere leraar, en verhuisde naar Acton in Londen. Het echtpaar scheidde twee jaar later. Weldon ging in de reclame werken om haarzelf en haar zoontje te onderhouden.

Have your say Fay Weldon What Makes Women Happy? proposes that the Victorians were right: it is being good that makes us happy. Now aged 75, with four sons and six grandchildren, she lives with her third husband Nick Fox in Dorset. She talked to Valerie Grove If you are liked by other people, you tend to have a good life. Women must get over their habitual anxiety and guilt. An indomitable, resourceful mother can overcome any upheaval. The wrong marriage need not be a disaster. Even now, I can't explain why I married my first husband, a schoolmaster 20 years older, the sort of man who said "No wife of mine will ever work." When I left him, with my small son, I took charge of my own life. You marry when you don't want the other person to get away. If you just live together, one of you may be looking out to see if someone better comes along. When I met my second husband, Ron Weldon, the evening before my 30th birthday, it seemed a miracle. Then my writing life could begin. The secret of living peacefully with stepchildren is to treat them like royalty, and only speak when spoken to.

WELDON, FAY British Writer Most widely known in Britain and abroad as an irreverent novelist usually concerned with women's issues, Fay Weldon has pursued a wide variety of projects for television, radio, and the stage. The daughter of a novelist, granddaughter of a Vanity Fair editor, and a niece to novelist/screenwriter/radio and television dramatist Selvyn Jepson, Weldon's first published novel in 1967 simply expanded upon her own 1966 teleplay for The Fat Woman's Joke . That teleplay had been written while Weldon was working as a highly successful copywriter for English print and television advertising; her previous work included the still remembered "Get to work on an egg" campaign. Following The Fat Woman's Joke , Weldon remained in advertising until the 1970s, yet she still produced the teleplays for productions such as A Catching Complaint (1966) and Poor Cherry While Weldon's real progress as a writer has often been traced back to the mid-1960s, it was in the early 1970s that she began fully to establish both her name and public voice. Where Weldon fit in British culture was another matter.

Featured Author: Fay Weldon With News and Reviews From the Archives of The New York Times In This Feature Reviews of Fay Weldon's Earlier Books Book Excerpts and Articles by Fay Weldon Related Link Elizabeth Gleick Reviews 'Big Girls Don't Cry' (October 25, 1998) Isolde Ohlbaum/ Atlantic Monthly Press Fay Weldon REVIEWS OF FAY WELDON'S EARLIER BOOKS: Down Among the Women "Had she been content with writing a novel, it might well have been nearly perfect. . . . But enlisted in the service of a tract, these talents produce only occasional flashes of light . . ." Female Friends "[It's possible] to read all of this as surface dazzle, brilliant gossip about love, friendship, death. [But this,] in a way that snaps national, racial and class barriers for millions of women around the world, is the way it is." Remember Me ,' reviewed by Joyce Carol Oates ". . . has the breathlessness of an Iris Murdoch novel, and some of its inventiveness. But it lacks depth and resonance, and it resolves itself as glibly as any situation comedy . . ." Words of Advice ,' reviewed by Martin Amis "Weldon's prose normally a crisp and functional performer makes a somewhat bashful leading lady."
