Widzę, że jak ja tego nie zrobię to nikt xD.

Nasza polska wikipedia nic o niej nie mówi o.0. Cóż... u nas te książki nie są tak sławne ale żeby nic a autorce? Pff...

Może znalazłyście jakieś informacje na jej temat? Co sądzicie o jej stylu pisania? Wink

Louise mieszka w Brighton, angielskim San Francisco (ale bez słońca, Amerykanów, Golden Bridge i trzęsień ziemi). Po sukcesie swego autobiograficznego monodramu, „Stevie Wonder Felt My Face” (Edinburgh Festival Awards & BBC 2 Special), pisała scenariusze dla wielu komików (i Russa Abbota). Obecnie jest reporterem w John Peel Show i stałym gościem w Woman’s Hour, The Treatment i Loose Ends. Pisze felietony dla londyńskiego Evening Standard i przygotowuje kolejne części książek o Georgii. Ma dwie złote rybki, Finna i Bjork, które są jej największymi fanami.

znalazłam aż tyle. ; P
czytałam tylko serię zwierzeń Georgii, no ale ubóstwiam babkę, musi mieć piekielne poczucie humoru i rozbudowaną wyobraźnie pisząc takie książki. : D

Jas

Ueee szkoda, że tylko tyle. Ja tam o niej szukałam, ale nic nie znalazłam, niestesty.

Rosie

Naprawde jestem jej wdzieczna za te ksiazki o Georgii. Smile

Louise Rennison lives in Brighton, a place that she likes to think of as the San Francisco of the South Coast. Which is sad as it is nothing Like San Francisco, being mainly pebbles and large people in tiny swimming knickers who have gone bright red in the sun. Although she lives in Brighton in reality, in her mind she lives somewhere exotic with a manservant called Juan. This is because she lost her mind after Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging catapulted her into the spotlight of fame.

Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging is the first book in the Georgia Nicolson series, written in a diary style. Georgia is fourteen and lives with her annoying parents, a three-year-old sister, who says things like, “Georgia did a big poo this morning” to prospective boyfriends, her half Scottish wildcat, Angus and has to wear a beret to school. She would, however, rather be blond, have a smaller nose, slimmer eyebrows and a have a Sex-God for a boyfriend.

The second book following Georgia’s exploits is It’s OK I’m Wearing Really Big Knickers, the third Knocked Out by My Nunga Nungas and the fourth Dancing in My Nuddy-Pants. And That’s When It Fell Off In My Hand, Georgia’s fifth adventure, will be published in June 2004 by HarperCollinsChildren’sBooks. Sales in UK for the series already top 400,000. Sales in US have been phenomenal – they top the million mark and the books have reached Number 1 on the New York Times Bestseller list. Louise based several episodes in the books on her own childhood in Leeds, where she was bought up in a three-bedroomed council house with her mum, dad, grandparents, aunt, uncle and cousin. And characters such as Elvis the school-caretaker, Wet Lindsey, Herr Kaymer the German teacher and Angus himself are not entirely fictional!

When Louise was 15, her parents decided to emigrate to Wairakei in New Zealand. Its main claim to fame is that it had some of the most violent geothermal activity in the world. “When we had Sunday lunch in the back garden, the tables heaved and lurched around, and the trees went backwards and forwards. That was because underneath the table, underneath the earth’s surface, thousands of cubic feet of molten steam was trying to get out … and kill us!” Louise’s dad had his shoes blown off by a rogue bore.

In her twenties, Louise lived in Notting Hill Gate, “in a one bedroomed flat owned by Roxy Music which was quite cheap… because five of us were sharing it.” After an assortment of jobs (playleader, dental nurse etc) and traveling, Louise rekindled a childhood dream and enrolled on a Performing Arts course in Brighton. However, as John Lennon famously wailed, ‘genius is pain’ and her career as a performance artist got off to a shaky start. After an audition in which Louise was asked to be an embryo, her tutor remarked, “You are obviously a very intelligent girl, Louise, but you must never go on stage again. Your performance made me feel physically sick.” Despite this, and displaying astonishing Northern grit, Louise continued to perform.

Her first one-woman autobiographical show, Stevie Wonder Felt My Face, won great acclaim and awards at the Edinburgh Festival in the 80s and millions watched the subsequent BBC2 special. Since then, Louise has continued to perform her own shows (Bob Marley’s Gardener Sold My Friend and Never Eat Anything Bigger Than Your Head.) She works frequently for Radio 4 being a regular contributor to Woman’s Hour and The John Peel Show. She has also written for and with many well-known comedians (and Russ Abbott).

Louise’s research for her books requires many hours hanging around with 14-year-olds which is, as she says, “Brilliant – the best fun known to humanity. It’s all boys, make-up, laughing and, er, that’s it.”

Tyle znalazłam. Nie chce mi się tłumaczyć.. Hehe, ale jak będę miała czas ( albo ochotę) to przetłumaczę

Rachel

No to trageia jest,trzeba przyznać.Ja co prawda dopiero 7 część skończyłam,no ale jednak...trzeba coś z tym zrobić.Urządźmy protest.Louise napewno nas zrozumie Wink

anemone

Ja na początku myślałam że to facet napisał bo z tyłu książki jest że satyryk Razz

a przecież satyryk się nie odmienia i nie pomyślałam wtedy o tym.

Rachel

Ane,ja miałam tak samo.Byłam pewna,że to facet.No bo nie przyszło mi do głowy,że ''satyryk'' może się odnosić do kobiety.Jakoś tak mi to niepasowało...

anemone

Hehe i się dziwiłam że facet może napisać coś takiego Razz

Rosie

No co Wy, ja chyba jakoś sama stwierdziłam, że to kobieta pisała. xD

Rachel

O ! Ja jakoś też myślałam że bardziej to pod kobietę pasuje,ale nie zastanawiałam się nad tym.uznałam że facet i tyle

Rosie

Mi się wydaje, że facet by nie dał rady tak opisać tego wszystkiego xD
