Popular novels are not written to order. Often, works are made up of impressions and chance observations that have been accumulating over many years. This is how Bushnell Candace created her iconic book.
A distant start
It is very difficult to achieve success in the literary field in modern conditions. To do this, you have to work hard and hard in the right direction. But Candace Bushnell has managed to become one of the most popular and highly paid authors.
The future writer was born on December 1, 1958 in a standard American family. Parents lived in a small town in Connecticut. On weekends, they attended a Protestant church. The child grew up in a simple and comfortable environment. From an early age, Candace was taught to be accurate and diligent in work.
Bushnell studied diligently at school. I always found a common language with classmates. Her favorite subjects were history and literature. At an early age, Candace began writing poetry and notes about the world around her. I watched how her peers live and what they dream about. At an early stage of her career, she dreamed of becoming a doctor and treating children. After school, the girl went to Texas and entered the famous Rice University. Received a literary education and moved permanently to New York.
The path to recognition
In a big city, a person with abilities will always find a worthy occupation for himself. Bushnell plunged into the turbulent life of New York with great interest. She described and published all her impressions, admiration and hostility in various periodicals. Being engaged in creativity, she, as they say, filled her hand. The talented journalist began to be invited to reputable newspapers and magazines. Very soon readers began to buy the Observer newspaper to read the young woman's next report on the past week.
The reason for the heightened desire was that Candace easily and with a sense of proportion described the juicy details of events in nightclubs, at various competitions and festivals. It is important to note that the column on the newspaper page was small. But very interesting. The reporter's career took shape by itself, and life presented pleasant surprises. Based on the materials published by Bushnell, TV people began filming and showing the series Sex and the City.
Personal life
Candace never hid the fact that in her column she described real scenes that happened to her and her friends. She knew the problems of love and sex in the metropolis firsthand. Under the influence of circumstances, Bushnell collected all her notes, processed and put together in a separate book. The work was worth it. The writer became the owner of various literary awards and titles. In her biography, it is noted that the following novels “Black Blondes”, “Lipstick Jungle”, “Fifth Avenue, House One” came out of print.
Candace Bushnell's personal life, with some stretch, can be considered satisfactory. She was legally married to a ballet dancer named Charles. The husband and wife lived under the same roof. Children in marriage did not appear. Perhaps the writer defended herself in this way from the pressure of fans and fans. No divorce has been reported yet.
