Letters to Alice by Fay Weldon
Alice is an eighteen-year-old student and aspiring novelist with green spiky hair, a child of the modern age who recoils at the idea of reading Jane Austen. In a sequence of letters reminiscent of Jane Austen's to her own neice, 'aunt' Fay examines the rewards of such study. Not only is her correspondence a revealing tribute to a great writer - it is also an original and rewarding exploration of the craft of fiction itself.
Fay Weldon was a well known novelist, playwright, critic and scriptwriter. Her first novel, A Fat Woman's Joke, was published in 1967 and she published 38 more novels after that, including the widely acclaimed and bestselling The Life and Loves of a She Devil, which has been adapted for screen, television and radio. She also wrote seven collections of short stories and several works of non-fiction, including her autobiography Auto Da Fay and Letters to Alice: On First Reading Jane Austen. Awarded a CBE in 2001, she was appointed Professor of Creative Writing at Bath Spa University in 2012. For more information about Fay and her work, visit her website: www.fayweldon.co.uk.
