Sommaire:
JACKIE COLLINSQUEEN OF THE BLOCKBUSTER NOVELBy Jeremy Mark RobinsonRomance ? sex ? glamour ? glitter ? Hollywood ? fame ? fashion ? crime ? murder ? sleaze thrills ? and lots of money. A survey of the fiction of Jackie Collins, the undisputed Queen of Hollywood and the blockbuster novel. Jackie Collins is a master storyteller. Collins can tell a story brilliantly, and she possesses that magical element that readers appreciate and publishers seek high and low for: the page-turner. It's the Holy Grail of books and literature - and of stories in any media: creating the desire to know what happens next. Jackie Collins is known as the Queen of Trash, the Duchess of Dirty Books. The critics call Collins the 'Proust of nips and tucks' and 'unarguably the Victor Hugo of our time'. By the time of her death in 2015, Jackie Collins had published 32 novels, her first novel being The World Is Full of Married Men (1968), when she was 31. Collins' other novels include The Stud, The Bitch, Sinners, The World Is Full of Divorced Women, Rock Star, Thrill!, the Hollywood series: Hollywood Wives (her biggest seller, with 15 million copies), Hollywood Husbands, Hollywood Kids, Hollywood Divorces and Hollywood Wives: The New Generation, the Madison Castelli series, and the series of novels centred around Lucky Santangelo, the daughter of a mob boss: Chances, Lucky, Lady Boss, Vendetta, Dangerous Kiss, Goddess of Vengeance, etc. The book looks at every novel by Jackie Collins in detail, and includes the television and movie adaptations of her stories. The study also explores the contemporary blockbuster novel, looking at issues such as style, language, morality, sexuality, politics, celebrity culture, and work. Blockbuster novel authors include: Judith Krantz, Dean Koontz, Frederick Forsyth, John Grisham, Tom Clancy, Virginia Andrews, Shirley Conran, Harold Robbins and Dan Brown. Includes illustrations, bibliography and notes. 424pp. Hardcover, with a colour laminate cover. www.crmoon.com...
