Who doesn’t love juicy drama?
A new generation is discovering the timeless work of Jackie Collins for all the right reasons. The queen of juicy drama was once referred to as a “raunchy moralist” by the director Louis Malle and “Hollywood’s own Marcel Proust” by Vanity Fair. In modern times and to younger readers, experiencing her work or the first time makes the description altered ever so slightly.
Reading Collins now is better than scrolling through Instagram or glazing over TikTok. She elevates the sensational story matter and makes the reading experience delectable. When you are you introduced to her work in your 20s or 30s in 2023 you understand why your mother and grandmother flipped the pages so quickly. You even understand the legendary infatuation with the six television and film adaptions that premiered in the past that were inspired by her ethos.
Over 500 million copies of her books have sold in more than forty countries. She has thirty-two New York Times bestsellers to her credit to add to her title of being the world’s top-selling novelist.
