No wonder the Yanks think that we're a little cold and haughty. In recent times, our cultural exports to America have included Hugh Grant, Catherine "Eater"-Jones and Anne Robinson. The accounts of this summer's read won't help our image Stateside, either. |

Lauren Weisberger spent a year as an assistant for Vogue editor, Anna "Nuclear" Wintour. Like an exchange student bemoaning the loss of her cushioned US campus life, Weisberger recounts her harsh encounter with working life - and our own Anna - in the thinly disguised, but highly amusing, "The Devil Wears Prada". Though the novel does dwell in fashion fluff and name-dropping, it's partly redeemed by scenes such as Anna's alter ego snapping - in her haughty British accent - at an underling: "When I call, you respond. It's actually simple. See? I call. You respond. Do you think you can handle that, Ahn-dre-ah?" The idea that collecting enough dirt on the boss may one day get us rich and published, now that's the real treat of this book. "The Devil Wears Prada" by Lauren Weisberger MF |
