Zulkey said " But too often she was bored with chick lit â€â€? not transported "Maybe at some point women may start to write more sour books about these lives I spent much of the time bent over the cheese plate, hands clasped behind me, avoiding conversation Her book, "Here Kitty Kitty," is the story of a woman named Lee who lives in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn She's an irresponsible party girl who's just cute enough to keep readers' attention Alisa Kwitney's "On the Couch" is the story of a woman who plays the role of an escort after a local detective mistakes her for one, all while helping to solve a murder mystery As hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons' goddaughter and a writer for celebrity magazines, Kennedy knew she had inside information about the hip-hop world that could work for a novel Miramax Books put out an initial print run of 125,000 copies, and she hopes to reach a mainstream audience " She has no one but herself to blame for her romantic and financial gaffes "It's just that sometimes if you're a woman writer it seem as if you have to be one way or another "But the books that have a good story to tell are the ones that are going to survive "This book was a violent reaction to all those other chick lit books out there," the diminutive Kennedy said with a smile in her airy apartment in Brooklyn Heights, where she is surrounded by tall bookshelves stuffed with the likes of a biography of Marvin Gaye and Tom Perrotta's "Little Children Her publisher liked it Margaret Marbury, executive editor of Red Dress Ink, said she sees basically three different kinds of chick lit Elaine Rapping, an expert on media studies at State University New York at Buffalo has written extensively about romance novels and sees chick lit as an offshoot Kathleen Cross's heroine in "Schooling Carmen" is angry after learning she has breast cancer and feels that she is too young to die Everyone but me brought something " Most chick lit can be spotted across a bookstore, thanks in part to their pastel covers and line drawings of martini glasses or shoes She independently published 'Girls! Girls! Girls!" â€â€? a collection of essays about being a young woman Libaire was of a similar frame of mind, but she made no special requests And at the end of the book, no one saves her They're likely the next step in the evolution of chick lit, she said " There have been other books that stray from the formula "Here Kitty Kitty" was written over and over again in tiny print from top to bottom Red wine, plum lilies, soap in wax paper, a tin of foie gras After vetoing Miramax's first cover suggestion, she designed the cover herself " Like many characters in traditional chick lit, Lee loves designer clothes and handbags, but she also succumbs to her fair share of booze and drugs and writes about them in often sordid, sad detail Why not write one? The result was "Bling," a close-up look at the sometimes cloistered world of hip hop published Andrew Seigel's novel "Like the Red Panda," about a 17-year-old Princeton-bound girl who can't decide if she wants to kill herself |
