Lauren Weisberger (born March 28, 1977 in Scranton, Pennsylvania) is an American novelist and author of the 2003 bestseller The Devil Wears Prada, a roman à clef of her time as a put-upon assistant to Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
In 2003, Weisberger authored her first book, The Devil Wears Prada, which spent six months on the New York Times Best Seller List. The book provides a semi-fictional but highly critical view of the Manhattan elite's empty obsession with materialism and fashion. As of July 2006, The Devil Wears Prada was the best selling mass market softcover book in the nation.
A delightfully dishy novel about the all-time most impossible boss in the history of impossible bosses. Andrea Sachs, a small-town girl fresh out of college, lands the job “a million girls would die for.” Hired as the assistant to Miranda Priestly, the high-profile, fabulously successful editor of Runway magazine, Andrea finds herself in an office that shouts Prada! Armani! Versace! at every turn, a world populated by impossibly thin, heart-wrenchingly stylish women and beautiful men clad in fine-ribbed turtlenecks and tight leather pants that show off their lifelong dedication to the gym. With breathtaking ease, Miranda can turn each and every one of these hip sophisticates into a scared, whimpering child. THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA gives a rich and hilarious new meaning to complaints about “The Boss from Hell.” Narrated in Andrea’s smart, refreshingly disarming voice, it traces a deep, dark, devilish view of life at the top only hinted at in gossip columns and over Cosmopolitans at the trendiest cocktail parties. From sending the latest, not-yet-in-stores Harry Potter to Miranda’s children in Paris by private jet, to locating an unnamed antique store where Miranda had at some point admired a vintage dresser, to serving lattes to Miranda at precisely the piping hot temperature she prefers, Andrea is sorely tested each and every day—and often late into the night with orders barked over the phone. She puts up with it all by keeping her eyes on the prize: a recommendation from Miranda that will get Andrea a top job at any magazine of her choosing. As things escalate from the merely unacceptable to the downright outrageous, however, Andrea begins to realize that the job a million girls would die for may just kill her. And even if she survives, she has to decide whether or not the job is worth the price of her soul.

評分LAUREN WEISBERGER,绝不仅仅是此书序言中“初出茅庐的小说家”那么简单,在撰写此书之前,她是全球最有影响力时尚杂志《Vogue》美国版的总编辑 Anna Wintour的助理。而此本小说描写的则是一位刚刚大学毕业的女学生 Andrea Sachs获得了一份在顶尖时尚杂志《Runway》为堪称暴君...
評分You remind me of myself when I was your age. Here is a rule of thumb: if you are not sure what you will be like ten years from now, just observe your colleagues or your boss, and very probably, you will become one of them. Andrea’s last straw is not Mir...
評分 評分既然都快满1年了为什么还是没忍住,关键时刻掉链子啊。。 我并不觉得那句“看到了年轻时候的我”有什么问题, 哈哈或许我就是被虐+工作狂吧, 喜欢这种激烈的生活, 如果有机会也想感受。
幾年前讀瞭一半忘記什麼原因扔下瞭,遇到今年有個學生的畢業論文寫這書,探討書裏的女性主義,這纔記起來看完它。比電影真的差太遠太遠瞭。she doesn't even know what to appeal except for endless complaints. 電影的視角溫和許多,Streep saved it, and Anne made it.
评分怨念甚重~
评分重讀後突然覺得電影竟然超過原著!當然電影裏要是把Andy對Miranda說Fuck you也拍進去就最高潮瞭!
评分看她開著米蘭達的車,把煙燙在GUCCI褲子那段酣暢淋灕的章節,實在感覺作者有去NEW YORKER的文筆功底。
评分怨念甚重~
