EXCLUSIVE Bling - Erica Kennedy Intro Chapter Book Review Commentary Reviewing the Intro of THE BOOK BLING BY ERICA KENNEDY
I will be introducing the first 2 characters of Bling and together we will decide if it's Puffy/Diddy and Clive Davis. I will be reading some excerpts and providing commentary
Erica Kennedy, a music writer turned novelist who came to wide attention in 2004 with the publication of her first novel, “Bling,” a satirical roman à clef about the world of hip-hop, was found dead last week at her home in Miami Beach. She was 42.
Her family confirmed the death to The Associated Press but provided no details surrounding the cause nor the precise date Ms. Kennedy died.
“Bling” tells the story of a young, innocent mixed-race woman trying to break into the music business. A gifted singer, she is remade in flashy style by a rapacious record mogul. Ms. Kennedy was reported to have received an advance of half a million dollars for the novel.
Ms. Kennedy was moved to start work on the book, she later said, by the hoopla surrounding “The Nanny Diaries,” the 2002 novel by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus that lampooned Manhattan’s elite.
