Candace Bushnell Takes on Carrie Bradshaw’s Early Years

Candace Bushnell, the author of Sex and the City, is slated to write two young adult novels for new HarperCollins imprint Balzer & Bray.  The novels will focus on the early years of Bushnell’s most famous heroine, Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw.  The first book will be titled The Carrie Diaries and will chronicle Bradshaw’s high school years.

This is intriguing to me, and though I probably won’t read the book (Sex and the City was never my thing), it would be interesting to see how Bushnell manages to switch the spotlight from very, very “adult” situations with Carrie to more high school-y issues with a younger version of her iconic character.  I suppose it could be argued that the two “scenes” aren’t terribly different anymore (young whippersnappers!), but what a delight for a writer (and his/her die-hard fans) to revisit such a beloved creation at another point in her life.

The Carrie Diaries is due on bookshelves in 2010.

    I will be happy to endorse your article in the day-to-day assemblies at my work place.

Comment away, my little snarkie-pies. But please play nicely. Poopy-pants comments (spam, hate speech) will be flushed down the shitter.







      WHAT IS A SNARK?




      The Snark is a creature created by Lewis Carroll in his poem "The Hunting of the Snark". To give a proper description of Snarks, one must look no further than Carroll himself, who summed them up in one word: Unimaginable.

      But this much we do know: some have feathers, some have whiskers. Snarks sleep a lot, yet they are an ambitious lot -- with very little sense of humor. They love bathing-machines and tend to bring them wherever they go; they are also handy for striking a light. Snarks live on a far-off island, a place filled with chasms and crags, and are constantly on the lookout for Snark-hunters. Their mortal enemies are hope, care, thimbles and forks.
