Belle de Jour
our Guest Editor for September

 

Guest Editor - September 2010 - Belle de Jour

 

Belle de Jour rose to prominence with her award winning blog about her life as a London call girl. Her diaries, The Intimate Adventures of a London Call Girl and The Further Adventures of a London Call Girl, have both been bestsellers and adapted for a hit TV series starring Billie Piper. After six years of anonymity, Belle de Jour revealed her true identity in November 2009 as that of research scientist Dr Brooke Magnanti.

George Pelecanos

This is the sort of crime writing I love most – stripped down, but not simple; the characters are well-drawn without being overbearing. Click here to read more...

 

Stendhal
I find his books are incredible for how dense they are with detail – it’s like the entire plot of any other novel, on each page. But in particular his heroes are engaging, especially Julian Sorel in The Red and the Black. Click here to read more...

 

Margaret Atwood

Atwood’s books hugely influenced my reading style (though probably not my writing style!). I love the way she weaves research so seamlessly into her stories. Click here to read more...

 

Joe Orton

I have to admit to being an obsessive fan of Orton’s plays. But the farcical situations are nothing compared to the life he really lived. Click here to read more...

 

Paul Auster

Auster is a bit of a Marmite – he puts himself fearlessly into everything and you either love that or you hate it. I love it, the endless re-examination of the writer as a character. Click here to read more...
