Julie Burchill
Julie Burchill (f. 1959 i Bristol, England) er en spennende og kontroversiell forfatter, kjent for sin smitsomme og skarpe prosa og berømt som en av de vittigste spaltistene i England. Hun har skrevet ti bøker og kom i 2007 ut med boka Sweet, oppfølgeren av Sugar Rush. Dette sier mediene om henne:
"Julie Burchill is the self-styled enfant terrible of the British press, famous for her outspoken views and massive ego. If she’s written a lesbian novel, you can be sure it’s to court controversy rather than to improve the lot of gay and bisexual young adults." (After Ellen)
”The thing about Julie’s voice is that it is indeed perennially adolescent, and this suits the book perfectly. … she brings the bitchiness, the longing, the loneliness, the SHOUTING to make your point that are all part of the teenage condition to life very well." (Spike Magazine)
