Debutante: Caitlin Moran hope for revolution – Göteborgs-Posten

Her only role models were Margaret Thatcher and Courtney Love. When Caitlin Moran Now novel debuts she wants that even a 13 year old working-class girl should dare to dream of power:

– We have never been told that we can rule the world.

It goes away when interviewing Caitlin Moran. At just over half an hour time she tell me about growing up, the sold-out stand-up tour, the crazy success by popular feminist art of being a woman and for construction workers who got her to stop crying when she wrote the new novel The Art of Creating a girl.

– The writing is easy for me, I’ve always written 8000 words a day. But to sit still seven days a week, my ass was hurting, I was playing Daft Punk on repeat and the only fun I had was my cigarettes. Eventually screamed construction workers in the garden beside that I should play Robin Thicke instead, so that at least I stopped crying.

She has added e-cigarette aside, but shows as bushy how she chain-smoked and wrote about every other . It is 22 months since that life took a crazy turn and the pace accelerated.

– Suddenly The art of being a woman sold to 35 countries and I got thousands of offers. Some things made me raise an eyebrow, so I agreed to do a film, a solo tour across the UK, to write a sitcom and writing a novel. I never thought that I would deliver too, and it pretty quickly.

So the past two years, she says, she has either been sitting on an airplane or crying and rökandes front of their laptop.

Now, she should be able to exhale. The sitcom she wrote with her sister soon begin broadcast on British television, the tour is over and the novel lies on the coffee table in front of her. The first in a planned trilogy.

It is 1990 and Johanna Morrigan is 14 years in a British industrial town where nobody has a job. Stone Roses music and unsentimental British gallows humor she does what she can, write, and get from Wolverhampton hopelessness to London’s indie scene. In the next book, How to be famous (approx. Art to be known) should be about celebrity and mental illness and in the last section, How to Change the World (young. The art to change the world) form Johanna 20 years later his own party.

– A hundred years ago it was the working class who formed new parties in the UK, which was met, discussed and agreed upon ideas. We seem to have forgotten it. My greatest wish is that a 13 year old should be able to follow the story and then think, “I could also steer this country,” thoughts that have only been over the class förunnade, she says and continues:

– I thought long on what I read in my teens, that all great stories already written and that what remained was postmodernism and meta-criticism. But fuck off. We’ve got all the stories of white heterosexual males, it is clear that only a fifth sequel to Spiderman remains then. But my life has not told you about, or transgender, or about parenthood. We have only just begun.
