She’s fearless, frank and outspoken – and she’s heading to Beverley Literature Festival. Kathy Lette will be appearing at Beverley Literature Festival on Friday, 3 October, 7.30pm – 8.30pm at Toll Gavel United Church.
If you haven’t seen Kathy Lette in action yet, you’re missing a treat. Deliciously outspoken, she’ll be discussing her new novel, Courting Trouble – so gird your loins and prepare for the unexpected!
Courting Trouble follows Tilly and her feisty mother as they set up an all-female law firm which will only champion women who have been cheated, put upon, attacked, ripped off or ruined by the men in their lives. But what can Tilly do when a case threatens to change everything and smooth-talking Jack Cassidy enters her life?
Festival Director, Dorcas Taylor said: “We’re just delighted that Kathy’s coming to the festival this year. She has such a warm and open personality. It’ll be a girls’ night out so be prepared for a giggle. Of course men in touch with their feminine side are more than welcome!”
Kathy Lette is one of our most brilliant writers of comedy fiction, with her sharp observational humour and tongue-in-cheek style.
Having left school at 16, she wrote her first novel, Puberty Blues, at 17 and became an overnight sensation, with both a film and TV series to its name. Since then she has gone on to write 11 international bestsellers, including Girls’ Night Out, Foetal Attraction and Mad Cows. The Boy Who Fell to Earth – a tale of a single mum raising a child with Asperger Syndrome, with all the heartache and hilarity that entails – received rave reviews and is currently being made into a Hollywood film by screen icon Emily Mortimer.
She is a regular newspaper columnist and broadcaster on national television. She cites her career highlights as once teaching Stephen Fry a word, Salmon Rushdie how to limbo and scripting Julian Assange’s cameo in The Simpsons’ 500th episode.
