Okay, she writes trashy novels, but they’re good trashy novels. Scruples, Scruples 2, Dazzle, Princess Daisy etc.
We were wandering around a bookstore today and I realized 1)They didn’t have any Judith Krantz novels and 2)She hasn’t written any fiction since The Jewels of Tessa Kent. I confirmed with the clerk that her last novel was 1998.
A quick Google search only came up with her recent autobiography, which I have no interest in. Anyone know what’s up with her? I know she’s not up there with the classical American authors, but dammit, I like her books.
I’ve been wondering the same thing. Just found my old stash (re-reading “Til We Meet Again” right now), and just found a notebook of some old attempts at writing my own novel. Boy is my face red - didn’t realize how much Judith and Jackie (Collins) I was reading at the time! Ack!
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that a good way to find out what’s up with her would be reading her autobiography. Or at least reading the last few chapters. Also, it might very well be that the reason she hasn’t written any new fiction lately is that she was working on her autobiography.
