The Devil Wears Prada

fullDescription

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 plaints 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.

   • content: Her first job out of college is one that any young woman would give her right arm to have: assistant to the famous, powerful, legendary, magnificent Miranda Priestly, editor of Runway magazine and doyenne of international fashion. But as Andrea Sachs finds herself less than an errand girl who is abused verbally and constantly at the demand of this arrogant, unfeeling woman, we are treated to the spectacle of the high-fashion world through the reading talent of Bernadette Dunne. She imparts the frenzy of cell phone slaves, the embarrassment of one reprimanded in public, and the exhaustion of being on call incessantly. In a clear voice she delights in the silliness of the industry while interpreting the relationships with compassion. She does the author a fine service. J.P.

     March 17, 2003
     Most recent college grads know they have to start at the bottom and work their way up. But not many picture themselves having to pick up their boss's dry cleaning, deliver them hot lattes, land them copies of the newest Harry Potter book before it hits stores and screen potential nannies for their children. Charmingly unfashionable Andrea Sachs, upon graduating from Brown, finds herself in this precarious position: she's an assistant to the most revered—and hated—woman in fashion, Runway
     editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly. The self-described "biggest fashion loser to ever hit the scene," Andy takes the job hoping to land at the New Yorker
     after a year. As the "lowest-paid-but-most-highly-perked assistant in the free world," she soon learns her Nine West loafers won't cut it—everyone
     wears Jimmy Choos or Manolos—and that the four years she spent memorizing poems and examining prose will not help her in her new role of "finding, fetching, or faxing" whatever the diabolical Miranda wants, immediately. Life is pretty grim for Andy, but Weisberger, whose stint as Anna Wintour's assistant at Vogue
     couldn't possibly have anything to do with the novel's inspiration, infuses the narrative with plenty of dead-on assessments of fashion's frivolity and realistic, funny portrayals of life as a peon. Andy's mishaps will undoubtedly elicit laughter from readers, and the story's even got a virtuous little moral at its heart. Weisberger has penned a comic novel that manages to rise to the upper echelons of the chick-lit genre. Agent, Deborah Schneider. (Apr. 22)Forecast: Author readings in New York, the Hamptons, Dallas, Miami, Boca Raton, Atlanta, San Francisco and L.A. should target moneyed young women, as should a photo of the author's youthful face on the book's back cover. The publisher's hoping this will be the next
     Nanny Diaries, and with all the promo and pre-pub chatter in the
     New York Observer,
     Salon and elsewhere, it just might.

   • content: Just out of college, with aspirations to be a writer, Andrea lands an ill-defined job as assistant to the editor of RUNWAY magazine--Miranda Priestly (rhymes with beastly). Soon Andrea is so caught up with Miranda's outrageous errands (pick up her dog, her car, her just-so lunch) and the world of fashion that she neglects her boyfriend and her needy roommate. Rachel Leigh Cook reads this first-person nightmare at a rapid pace, capturing Andrea's na•veté and skewering the city weirdos she encounters. But it's her performance of the insipid and demanding "boss from hell" that will stick with you. Eventually Andrea tells the devil off but not before you've had a highly entertaining listen. J.B.G.
