The Art of Genital Persuasion (Girls’ Night In 4)
Kathy Lette was born in Sydney, Australia
She left school at 16 to become a writer and says the only examination she has ever passed is her cervical smear test!
She first achieved success with the novel Puberty Blues, which she says was written as revenge on the ‘surfie’ boys she grew up with, who seemed to be evolving back into apes! Puberty Blues was made into a major film and a TV mini-series.
After several years as a newspaper columnist and television sitcom writer for Columbia Pictures in America, she wrote numerous international bestsellers including Mad Cows (which was made into a film starring Joanna Lumley and Anna Friel), How to Kill Your Husband and Other Handy Household Hints (recently staged by the Victorian Opera, Australia), To Love, Honour and Betray and The Boy Who Fell To Earth. Her novels have been published in seventeen languages around the world. She has also written the reference book Men :A Users Guide.
Kathy appears regularly as a guest on the BBC and Sky News. She is an ambassador for Plan International, The National Autistic Society, Their World and Ambitious about Autism. In 2004 she was the London Savoy Hotel’s Writer in Residence where a cocktail named after her can still be ordered.
Kathy is an autodidact (a word she obviously taught herself) but in 2010, received an honorary doctorate from Southampton Solent University.
She cites her career highlights as “once teaching Stephen Fry a word, Salman Rushdie the limbo and scripting Julian Assange’s cameo in the Simpsons 500th episode”
