An in-depth analysis of bestselling, much-loved author Lisa Jewell, this biography will be perfect for superfans and aspiring authors alikeHave you ever thought about what it takes to become a bestselling writer? If so, The Truth About Lisa Jewell is the book for you. It is the story of how a novel is written, from before the start to after the finish; it' s an in-depth analysis of how that novel fits into a bestselling author like Lisa Jewell' s career and her previous work, and what her style shares with authors from James Joyce to Martin Amis. But this is more than just a study of an author at the top of her game. Like Lisa Jewell' s much-loved novels, it' s also the story of a relationship - between the bestselling author and the professor of cultural studies who has made her his muse - evolving slowly as the world comes gradually out of Covid. It' s the story of two very different writers getting to know each other gradually through words; two complete strangers becoming something more like friends. A must-have for fans of Lisa Jewell, for aspiring authors who are interested in the path to success - and a testament to the way books can bring us together.
Will Brooker is Professor of Film and Cultural Studies at Kingston University, London. A scholar of fandom and popular culture, ranging from Alice in Wonderland to Batman and Blade Runner, he attracted global media attention in 2015 when he immersed himself in the life and work of David Bowie for a year' s research, published as the acclaimed Why Bowie Matters (HarperCollins, 2019). He is currently working with bestselling author Lisa Jewell on a book about her writing process.
