Kathy Lette
Many of the women writing popular novels about love, sex
and relationships today are Jewish.
Their books are witty, stylish and energetic, with a strong emotional
centre and appeal to men and women, old and young.
In this highly entertaining session, Kathy Lette conducted a light-hearted investigation with three of
the best protagonists of the genre into the intimate dilemmas of contemporary
life and the way society and family have changed for this new generation of
writers.
Claire Calman
is the best-selling author of three novels: Love is a Four Letter Word
(2000), Lessons for a Sunday Father (2001) and I Like
it Like That (2002).
Anna Maxted
is former Assistant Editor of Cosmopolitan. Her three best-selling novels are Getting
Over It (2000), Running in Heels (2001) and
Behaving Like Adults (2003). Being Committed is published in
March 2004.
Freya

(2003), have been translated into seven languages and have sold over a million
copies in paperback.
Kathy Lette’s
best-selling novels include Altar Ego (1999), Nip
‘n’ Tuck (2002) and Dead Sexy (2003).
