Oh, please.
Waiter! More champagne! Candace Bushnell, author of 'Sex and the City,' is living in the spotlight -- and soaking it up like a sponge.
"I know more about literature than most reviewers. I know what I'm doing. And my books will be around a lot longer than they will. Sometimes I think they're only saying these things out of jealousy."
Those are the words of a writer of classics? They sound more like those of a slighted high schooler who just lost the class election.
Here's one of those "jealous" reviews: New York magazine
...and one from The Guardian...
I find all the references to Edith Wharton, both by Bushnell and the various reviewers, irritating and insulting (to Wharton). Candace Bushnell is NOT the modern Edith Wharton.
