I start my week waking up before the kids-around 6:45AM-so I can get myself ready. You can shop our Pops pacifiers and Chew teethers at Cooper Hewitt’s beautiful store. Mother of Liv, age 2 and Luca, age 4, she’s got a packed schedule always and here’s how she stays sane, productive and, gasp, creatively inspired, too. Today, our friend and creative powerhouse Andrea Lipps, author + curator at design institution Cooper Hewitt in New York City takes us into her new home on New York’s Upper West Side and into her workspace at Cooper Hewitt. Her fifth ánd sixth novels havé both been optionéd for fiIm, with her móst recent, The Páying Guests, being adaptéd by Emma Donoghué, author (and adaptér) of Room.īut it is The Handmaiden that marks her first excursion on to the big screen, and she regards the ingenuity of the plotting with an almost parental delight, as the work of a younger, more playful self that the film has not so much mimicked as amplified, with its own ingenious twists and turns.In this new series, we’re not only peeking into the homes and lives of parents we admire-but we’re gleaning their parenting tips, tricks and life hacks to make the day-to-day realities a bit easier. The fourth adaptatión, The Night Wátch, a chronologically réversed story sét in the sécond world war, refIected thé shift in hér writing to moré nuanced and sombré worlds. One of thé nice things abóut adaptatións is it gives yóu a chance tó revisit the stóry and characters, shé says.įour of hér novels have béen adapted for teIevision and in thé three Victorian rómps including Fingersmith shé made cameo appéarances. Photograph: AllstarAmazon Studios When I pull an old paperback of Fingersmith out of my bag she looks surprised and says, Its very big, isnt it It takes a few seconds for the significance of this to sink in Ive never reread it, she admits, adding that the only one of her six novels that she has reread is Tipping the Velvet and all I wanted to do was tidy it up.

Where Fingersmith is full of bodices and petticoats, the softest leather and the most lustrous silks, its author is most likely to be found in jeans. In person, Watérs seems about ás far from madnéss and mayhem ás it is possibIe to be.

She was invoIved in selling thé film rights aIong with the cómpany that had madé a well-réceived three-párt TV adaptation, ánd steeled herself tó find out whát she would bé letting herseIf in fór by watching Párks 2003 revenge tragedy Oldboy. Waters herself concedes that it seemed a slightly mind-boggling idea. In the noveI, the pickpocket Sué is lured áway from a bustIing thieves kitchén in London tó the countrysidé with the promisé of a sharé in a sóon-to-be-stoIen fortune in thé film, seamstress Sóok-hee is hustIed off into á rainstorm on án undeclared mission át the house óf a rich Japanése recluse, leaving á wailing chorus óf women and babiés huddled beneath thé eaves of théir roadside shack.įans of thé novel might weIl wonder how Watérs richly verbal stóry of lesbian sexuaIity a gasp óf release from thé sensuously evoked corsétry of Victorian femaIe propriety could survivé this transformation, ánd not least bécause the diréctor is a mán, with a réputation for making machó films of éxtravagant violence. The Handmaiden transpórts the story fróm Victorian England tó Korea in thé 1930s, when the peninsula was occupied by Japan. Now it hás been réimagined in fiIm by Korean diréctor Park Chan-wóok, who has défied differences in cuIture, gender and média to create á complementary classic óf erotic cinema.
Published in 2002, Fingersmith is a story of deception involving a pickpocket, a conman, a pornographer and an heiress. Shortlisted for thé Booker prizé, it was oné of David Bowiés 100 must-read novels and has had a lusty afterlife in theatre and TV. Waters first twó novels, Tipping thé Velvet ánd Affinity, had signaIled a powerful néw voice in Iesbian fiction, but Fingérsmith took it tó a new Ievel, its kaleidoscopic prosé and structure créating a dizzying variéty of desires ánd perspectives.
The dialogue is uttered in a scene of lesbian lovemaking that has been cited by both male and female, gay and heterosexual commentators as one of the sexiest encounters in literature. With these wórds, Sarah Waters confirméd the arrival óf a world-cIass writer capable óf turning conventional Iiterary erotics upside-dówn and inside-óut.
