Auto da Fay: A Memoir (The Life and Loves of a She-Devil )

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Auto Da Fay is, as Fay Weldon remarks, 'an attempt to narrate a real life, my own, and to find the pattern within it'. This book tells us about her life as a child in New Zealand, as a young, poor girl in London, as an unmarried mother, and as a wife. It covers love, sex, babies, blokes, poverty, work, politics, and not a few Very Famous Names. Her story begins in 1931, when she is born as Franklin Birkinshaw, and stops when she is 32, just wed Mrs. Weldon. At that time, her most well-known books were as yet unwritten (The Life and Loves of the She-Devil - The Cloning of Joanna May - Big Women). With dry humor, she depicts hilarious situations as well as embarrassing circumstances, which she only is able to write about in third person. Fay Weldon's biography is rich in associations and memories, which lead then again to another retrospection, hopping back and forth in time and space to come back on track to the episode from which she started. The book jacket describes Weldon as an icon to many, a thorn in the flesh to others, but someone who has never failed to excite, madden or interest. Artikel-Nr. ABE-1779739800156
