More From Marian Keyes

Much-derided chick lit, chick flicks, and chick magazines have left ambitious women in a bind. why is it that i, a young woman, can read gq, enjoy fight club, and subscribe to thrillist, while the idea of a guy doing the same with glamour, 27 dresses and daily candy is nearly unheard of?

The thing about being a mystery writer, what marks a mystery writer out from a chick lit author or historical fiction writer, is that you always find a mystery in every situation.
Historical Fiction Mystery
It was like time would stop, and the dancer would sort of step through some kind of portal and he wasn't doing anything different than he had ever done, 1,000 nights before, but everything would align. and all of a sudden, he would no longer appear to be merely human. he would be lit from within, and lit from below and all lit up on fire with divinity. and when this happened, back then, people knew it for what it was, you know, they called it by it's name. they would put their hands together and they would start to chant, "allah, allah, allah, god god, god." that's god, you know.

I can say that if you're a writer who happens to be a woman, you'll get a book cover that depicts a woman with no head, or a woman turning away, or a pair of high heels. you have to fight to not get stuck with these covers. in the u.s. women are chick-lit writers unless they prove otherwise, and that's frustrating.

People ask me: ‘what is punk? how do you define punk?' here's how i define punk: it's a free space. it could be called jazz. it could be called hip-hop. it could be called blues, or rock, or beat. it could be called techno. it's just a new idea. for me, it was punk rock. that was my entrance to this idea of the new ideas being able to be presented in an environment that wasn't being dictated by a profit motive.
