A Truth Universally Acknowledged: 33 Reasons Why We Can't Stop Reading Jane Austen by Susannah Carson, ISBN 9781846144592

> Other Books > General Books > Essays, Speeches & Quotations Books Author: Susannah Carson What explains our enduring fascination with Austen? Why, after 200 years, do her books still inspire such devotion? This book brings together thirty-three writers, past and present, on just what it is about Jane. Jay McInerny confesses to serial crushes on most of Austen's heroines, and celebrates her belief in true love. Amy Heckerling reveals how she transformed Emma into the hit romantic comedy Clueless, and Martin Amis muses on Pride and Prejudice as a divine comedy of love, while Fay Weldon wonders whether the 'bad' girls in Mansfield Park have more fun. Whether discussing Austen's gift for comedy, or why she would be an ideal dinner guest (although she wouldn't want to come), A Truth Universally Acknowledged reminds us why we still love the author who wrote about life better than anyone else in the world.
