ENCOUNTERS WITH TOP AUTHORS Over the course of 50 issues, we’ve been through literally thousands of new fiction titles in an effort to steer our readers in direction of the best new books and the most promising authors. In fact, several of today’s best-loved novelists were featured in Bookcase before they reached the top of the bestseller lists. So, to celebrate our 50 anniversary, we look back on some early encounters with today’s most popular writers. A. JILLY COOPER Prior to 1986, Jilly had published a string of domestic romances, but was still best known for her hilarious articles in The Sunday Times. So when all her passion and wicked sense of humour came pouring out in Riders, a 900-page tale of ambition on horseback, bookcase invited her to write a background piece for the magazine. Among Jilly’s admissions were that the main character, Jake, was based on her own childhood riding teacher, Mr Green; that she’d lost the original 50.000-word manuscript on a bus in 1971; and that, the second time around, she’d almost come to a stop after a few chapters. Yet, despite all this, Riders ran on to become a number-one bestseller. B. P.D JAMES Certsin aouthors have such a reputation that we are always interested in their work. P.D.James is a case in point – an original writer of crime fiction for more than 30 years. Prior to publishing her acclaimed novel, A taste for Death, she wrote an article for Bookcase about the development of the English murder myystery, in which she observered that the gentle puzzles of the past had given way to a darker form reflecting a moral crisis in society. “The detective story has moved closer to the style of other novels,” she said, “and this is a trend which will continue.” Her works were put into action. As recently as the last issue of Bookcase, we reviewed The Children of Men, which marks a major change of direction for P.D. James. Appealing to her widest audience yet, this is a terrifying, futuristic morality tale. C. ROSAMUNDE PILCHER It didn’t sound that promising: a novel by a 63-year-old grandmother, featuring a heroine at her own age; a novel distinctly short in blood, passion and glamour; a novel, instead, about the complexities and pleasures of family life. Yet Bookcase was charmed by Rosamunde Pilcher’s story-telling and set off to interview her immediately. It emerged that Rosamunde had written 12 pulished novels prior to The Shell Seekers. She had stuck to her beliefs, reasoning that “people are looking for moral standards”. Her instincts were right. In America, the book hit the New York Times bestseller list and stayed there for three months. A star was born. Of which aouthor are the following stated? 0. She wrote a book in which the main character is elderly. -D- 1. She used personal experience in one of her book. 2. She wrote a book that didn’t seem likely to be interesting. 3.

She suffered a disaster concerning one of her books. 7. She has written about hidden feelings. 8. One of her book became successful some time after it was first published. 9. She had difficulty in writing one of her book. 10. She has written in an amusing way. 11. Her books have always dealt with matters of right and wrong. 12. Her lastest book has been even more popular than her previous ones. 13. She has noticed a change in the type of book she writes. 14. She has a preference for books that describe everyday events. 15.
