Produktinformationen zu „Mantrapped (ePub)“
The Booker Prize nominee's quirky novel about a man and woman trading bodies, supplemented with her personal commentary: "Tremendously fun to read."-Booklist
Described as a "reality novel," Mantrappedreveals, in alternating chapters, personal reflections and observations of the acclaimed author Fay Weldon and the fictional story of a broke, fortysomething woman who brushes past a handsome male newspaper editor-and in that moment, mysteriously switches souls with him.
A follow-up to Weldon's autobiographical Auto da Fay, this creative concoction reminds us why the author of The Life and Loves of a She-Devil and dozens of other works is so renowned for her "piercing, insightful, razor-like wit" (The Washington Post), especially when it comes to the battle of the sexes.
"She's just so good...Weldon's extraordinary wit and insight ricochet through these pages."-The Baltimore Sun
"If you can just keep up with Weldon's madcap journey, Mantrapped is more than worth the trip."-O, the Oprah Magazine

Autoren-Porträt von Fay Weldon
Novelist, playwright, and screenwriter Fay Weldon was born in England, brought up in New Zealand, and returned to the United Kingdom when she was fifteen. She studied economics and psychology at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. She worked briefly for the Foreign Office in London, then as a journalist, and then as an advertising copywriter. She later gave up her career in advertising, and began to write fulltime. Her first novel, The Fat Woman's Joke, was published in 1967. She was chair of the judges for the Booker Prize for fiction in 1983, and received an honorary doctorate from the University of St Andrews in 1990. In 2001, she was named a Commander of the British Empire. Weldon's work includes more than twenty novels, five collections of short stories, several children's books, nonfiction books, magazine articles, and a number of plays written for television, radio, and the stage, including the pilot episode for the television series Upstairs Downstairs. She-Devil, the film adaption of her 1983 novel The Life and Loves of a She Devil, starred Meryl Streep in a Golden Globe-winning role.
