Warner, like the late writer Angela Carter, has a strong interest in the power of myth and folklore. The nature of a myth or a fantasy always has something to say about society, she argues. In fact, I rather believe in the power of fantasy. We are driven by what we dream and by what we desire and hope for. I don't think fantasy is hermetically sealed from the rest of our lives.
Warner cites Carter's provocative essay, The Sadeian Woman , as a smart approach to the politics of abusive fantasy. In it the writer suggested provocatively that de Sade merely mirrored honestly the male-dominated hierarchy of his times. In EL James's books the issues are handled more straightforwardly. When Christian introduces Anastasia to his "playroom" he warns her that she won't find an Xbox or PlayStation in there.
The helicopter is on standby to take you whenever you want to go, you can stay the night and go home in the morning. It's fine whatever you decide. He opens the door and stands back to let me in. I gaze at him once more. I so want to know what's in here. Taking a deep breath I walk in. But this week the publisher, Penguin Random House, revealed that a copy had been stolen, and the Daily Mail reports that a police investigation is underway, amid fears the contents will be made public before the book comes out.
This is not the first time an early copy of a highly-anticipated work has been hijacked. There has been a spate of leaks of popular projects in recent years — here are some of the most high-profile. The theft of Grey recalls the fate of one of the Twilight series books, which were the original inspiration for Fifty Shades, claims The Guardian.
Back in , author Stephenie Meyer penned a new version of the story, from the perspective of the vampire Edward Cullen rather than the human teenager Bella. But a partial draft of Midnight Sun was stolen and made available online. Meyer was so upset about the leak, she decided to stop writing the novel.
In , the final novel in JK Rowling's Harry Potter series was leaked online days before its release, despite massive security.
All pages of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows were leaked, and some bloggers angered fans by listing the characters who died in the book. The film version of the book also suffered a leak when a minute clip of the movie was posted on file-sharing websites days before its release.
And in , a forklift truck driver also stole pages of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, concealing them in his lunchbox, before attempting to sell them to the Sun, the Guardian reported. In November last year, an early draft of the script for the upcoming Bond film, Spectre, was stolen by hackers during the cyber attack on Sony Pictures.
The film, presumably with a better ending, is due out this November. In , an unfinished copy of X-Men Origins: Wolverine was leaked online a month before it was released in cinemas.
The Daily Mail reported that props such as a green screen and special effects wires attached to actors were still visible in the leaked copy. Actor Hugh Jackman who played the leading role said the leak had left him "heartbroken". New Yorker, Gilberto Sanchez, 49, pleaded guilty to uploading the footage and was jailed for a year for the offence. Even the Doctor has suffered a leak. In July , five scripts for the eighth series of the sci-fi show were posted online - weeks before the episodes were due to be broadcast.
Footage of the Doctor, Peter Capaldi, also appeared online, though in black and white and without special effects. Despite recent events, publishers say Grey will still be published on 18 June - Christian Grey's birthday - as planned. EL James, the author behind publishing sensation Fifty Shades of Grey, has revealed the release date for a new book written from the perspective of Christian Grey. James, whose real name is Erika Leonard, says the new book came after readers "asked It's been a great pleasure to return to my happy place: writing, being with Christian and Ana in their universe, and working with the fantastic team at Vintage.
The author's UK editor Selina Walker claims it is "what the fans have been waiting for" and is "just as addictive" as the original trilogy. The book's back cover asks the questions apparently troubling readers' minds: "Will being with Ana dispel the horrors of his childhood that haunt Christian every night?
