About the Author
Wendy Perriam has been writing since the age of five, completing her first 'novel' at eleven. Expelled from boarding school for heresy and told she was in Satan's power, she escaped to Oxford, where she read History and also trod the boards. After a variety of offbeat jobs, ranging from artist's model to carnation-disbudder, she now divides her time between teaching and writing. Having begun by writing poetry, she went on to publish 16 novels and 7 short-story collections, acclaimed for their power to disturb, divert and shock.
She has also written extensively for newspapers and magazines, and was a regular contributor to radio programmes such as Stop the Week and Fourth Column.
Perriam feels that her many conflicting life experiences - strict convent-school discipline and swinging-sixties wildness, marriage and divorce, infertility and motherhood, 9-to-5 conformity and periodic Bedlam - have helped shape her as a writer. 'Writing allows for shadow-selves. I'm both the staid conformist matron and the slag; the well-organised author toiling at her desk and the madwoman shrieking in a straitjacket.'

Rústica Editorial Ilustrada. Condition: Buen Estado. Dust Jacket Condition: Sin Sobrecubiertas. 542pp, EN INGLES, SOBRE LA AUTORA:: Wendy Perriam es un novelista Inglés y graduado de la Universidad de Oxford que comenzó a escribir a la edad de cinco años y escribió su primera novela a las once. Perriam luego se quedó en silencio mientras ella luchaba por un largo período de depresión, después de haber sido expulsado de la escuela católica por herejía y dijo que estaba en el poder de Satanás. Muchas de sus primeras novelas exploran los abusos y, por el contrario, los grandes atractivos del catolicismo . Trabajo Perriam es también conocido por su contenido sexual explícito. En 2002, ganó el Premio de la crítica literaria del mal sexo para pisar suavemente. [1] [2] Perriam ha aparecido con frecuencia en la televisión y la radio, y una vez fue un colaborador habitual de la serie de radio Detener la semana y la cuarta columna. Su trabajo ha sido aclamado por la crítica por su penetración psicológica y por su poder para alterar así como desviar. Descrito por el Sunday Telegraph como "uno de los novelistas más interesantes olvidados de su generación", publicó su obra Perriam 23 'estoy en el tren!', una colección de relatos cortos, en abril de 2012. Su novela más reciente, Lugares rotos, publicado en edición de bolsillo en 2012, fue nominado para 'Book Mente del Año' 2011 de adjudicación. En enero de 2013, fue investido Doctor Honoris Causa por la Universidad de Kingston por su "destacada contribución a la literatura y el placer de la lectura". Size: 20x13cm.
