I could barely recognize them as being of the same sex as myself, their buttocks arrogant in tight jeans, openly inviting, breasts falling free and shameless and feeling no apparent obligation to smile, look pleasant or keep their voices low. And how they live! Just look at them to know how! If a man doesn't bring them to orgasm, they look for another who does. If by mistake they fall pregnant, they abort by vacuum aspiration. If they don't like the food, they push the plate away. If the job doesn't suit them, they hand in their notice. They are satiated by everything, hungry for nothing. They are what I wanted to be; they are what I worked for them to be: and now I see them, I hate them.

By M.J. Rose There's nothing novel about art patronage. Prince Esterházy paid Haydn to write music, and Pope Julius II engaged Michelangelo to paint the ceiling of a chapel and, as the New York Times reported on Monday, last year an Italian jewelry firm hired British author Fay Weldon ("The Life and Loves of a She-Devil") to write a novel that was privately published and given to 750 special clients. Now, this fall, that novel will go public when "The Bulgari Connection" is published in England and in America (November, Atlantic Monthly Press). And as well-written, witty and wicked as Weldon's 22nd book may be, its genesis is guaranteed to get even more attention than its literary merit. While Jane Friedman, chief executive of HarperCollins Publishers enthused about the deal to the Times, calling it "fantastic" and saying it has given her "lots of ideas," not everyone sees literary product placement as a nifty new marketing tool.

FAY WELDON (N. 1931) Auto Da Fay, by Fay Weldon, Flamingo, London, 2002. Another pages about this author, here , and here , and here A palavra portuguesa mais utilizada noutras línguas é Auto da fé, escrito autodafé (ou Auto-da-fé, título em inglês de um romance de Elias Canetti), o processo que era movido pela Inquisição e que hoje significa qualquer tipo de processo inquisitório. Aparece em todas as línguas europeias, até em russo - – Ver aqui Quando Fay Weldon intitula o seu livro “Auto da Fay”, está na realidade a utilizar uma expressão portuguesa, que se pode traduzir em inglês por “acting the life of Fay” Life and loves Parts of her early life were so 'insane' she can only write about them in the third person. But as novelist Fay Weldon reveals in her new autobiography, she managed to find refuge in patches of happiness Emma Brockes Monday May 6, 2002 The Guardian Except for the few months after the birth of her first child, Fay Weldon has never kept a diary. There was nothing to say, she says, or else there was too much to say. Introspection was the luxury of girls from good homes. The one time she was asked to stand up in class and read aloud her composition, it was a recipe for bread. "Good, clear, lucid prose," she says. "But how dull!" Weldon's autobiography, Auto da Fay, sets out the life of a practical woman. She lives in a house in a posh street in Hampstead, with her third husband, Nick. Outside, the blossom flops and the foliage dangles. It is beautiful. "It is near the tube," says Weldon. She chunters merrily. A refrain of her memoir is, "I was happy," when the circumstances, for the most part, gave no cause for it. The child of divorced parents when divorce was a sin, a poor single mother, the wife, incredibly, of a schoolmaster who aspired to be her pimp: adversity taught Weldon to find pleasure in unpromising places. Her reputation as a woman who not so much speaks as yells her mind is at odds with the modesty of her early years. The author of such bolts of hellfire as The Life and Loves of a She-Devil was, it turns out, for many years practically third party to her own existence.

The following entry presents an overview of Weldon's career. For further information on her life and works, see CLC , Volumes 6, 9, 11, 19, 36, and 59. INTRODUCTION Considered by many to be one of the finest contemporary English satirists, Weldon has focused in her novels and short stories on the state of women's lives in modern culture. Weldon finds the prescribed positions of women in social institutions oppressive, and skewers not only institutions, but both male and female behavior within them. Biographical Information Weldon was born in Alvechurch, Worcestershire, England, and spent her early childhood in New Zealand. She returned to England to attend Hampstead Girls' High School in London. Weldon then went to the University of St. Andrews, earning her master's degree in economics and psychology in 1952; in 1988 she received a Ph.D. in literature from the University of Bath and a subsequent doctoral degree in literature from the University of St. Andrews in 1992. In the late 1950s she worked as a writer for the Foreign Office and the Daily Mirror in London before moving on to work as an advertising copywriter. In 1960 she married Ron Weldon, an antiques dealer; the couple divorced in 1994. In addition to novels and short stories, Weldon is an accomplished playwright, scriptwriter, and writer of children's stories. Her awards include a Writers Guild award, a Giles Cooper award, a Society of Authors traveling scholarship, and a

Ms Weldon, 69, has written more than 20 books, including Wicked Women, The Cloning of Joanna May, and The Life and Loves of a She-Devil in 1984, which was a huge TV hit and was turned into a Hollywood film. She hit the headlines in 1998 when she told an interviewer that rape "isn't the worst thing that can happen to a woman". Patricia Hodgson and Dennis Waterman in The Life and Loves of a She-Devil But she insisted that her next words, that death was the worst thing, were not quoted in the article. A pioneer of Women's Lib in the 1960s, she has outraged modern feminists by advocating "masculinism" - her term for the compassion that she feels should be shown to men who lose out in the modern sexual order. Ms Weldon was born in England but grew up in New Zealand, returning to London in 1946.

HOME THIS ISSUE CALENDAR GRANTS ... BACK ISSUES British author Fay Weldon offers creative writing tips by Cindy Weiss - April 17, 2006 British author Fay Weldon, known for feminist perception and wit in her stories about marriage, modern life, and mores, wrote, by her count, at least eight novels during a three-day visit to the Storrs campus recently. Weldon, the Aetna Visiting Writer in Residence for the spring semester, worked closely with 10 creative writing students, most of whom were writing novels. An hour at a time, she wrote with them and showed them how to construct their stories. She May Not Leave , will be released in the United States next month. Upstairs, Downstairs Weldon began as an advertising writer in London in the 1960s, working in what was then a wide open field, writing television commercials. Weldon then decided she wanted to sell an idea, so she tried TV dramas. She found that she could move stories forward through dialogue, and viewers would expect something to happen. She likened her first novels to television shows in which she did her own casting. Photo by Jordan Bender She has since written several collections of short stories, novels, plays, and reviews.

The Life and Loves of a She-Devil Fay Weldon Born: 9/22/1933 Alvechurch Worcestershire England About the Author Fay Weldon was born in England in 1933. Her father was a doctor and her mother a novelist who wrote under the pen name "Pearl Bellaris." Her parents separated when Weldon was five years old, and she moved with her mother and sister to New Zealand. Weldon returned to the United Kingdom to pursue a degree in psychology and economics at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Weldon was briefly married to an older man, a union which produced one son. She worked in the advertising industry to support herself and her son, and was remarried in 1962. After a mid-life crisis, Weldon underwent psychotherapy, an experience she credits with giving her the courage to quit her job in advertising and become a writer. She wrote over fifty plays for radio, television and theater before publishing her first novel, The Fat Woman's Joke, in 1967. Since then, she has written short story collections, television scripts, magazine and newspaper articles and over twenty novels. The announcement of her upcoming novel, The Bulgari Connection, commissioned by the Italian jeweler Bulgari, recently caused a stir as many speculated it was a possible harbinger of a new form of commercial product placement.

(April 2004) (Laurie Swope / Ftwp) Free E-mail Newsletters See a Sample Sign Up Now Breaking News Alerts See a Sample Sign Up Now This book gives great pleasure. Some writers get more boring with age, but John Updike just gets more perspicacious. The wealth of connections and imagery increases with the years; the practice of literary expression makes the prose yet more perfect. It's easy, though, to take this recording angel of our times for granted he's been around for five decades, and familiarity can breed indifference. Awe at his dexterity with language, his gift for metaphor, his talent for the overview, can drift into "Oh yes, Updike, sex in the suburbs, all that." And then may come the yet more damning afterthought, which is so bad for sales: "Didn't we do him in college?" Being "done" in college may be flattering for the novelist, but it can also be a danger. Who wants to read now what they were obliged to read then? But it's not surprising that Updike gets "done." He writes a powerful novel. His books have stirred many on both sides of the Atlantic to infidelity, not to mention serial marriage but a writer's got to do what a writer's got to do. And no other novelist creates his alternative universes with such a delicate grace, recreating the smells and textures of other places, other people, other times, tracing the remembrance of sexual desire with such melancholy relish, granting significance to the everyday and ordinary.
