  Profile: Joy Fielding
Joy Fielding has been described as the maven of domestic terror, though the author herself would likely balk at that description.
Fielding doesn't think that she'd have as easy a time breaking in to today's competitive publishing world, but, "I was fortunate that someone was willing to take a chance.
Another thing that Fielding thinks adds to the relevance of her work is that it speaks to large chunks of the population who feel passed over by other authors.

 Barnes & Noble.com - Books: Lost, by Joy Fielding, Hardcover, First
New York Times bestselling author Joy Fielding delivers her most glamorous and intriguing novel to date about the disappearance of a gorgeous young actress, and a mother whose life is thrown into turmoil as a result.
Fielding fills space by having characters repeat one another's dialogue; a comic subplot about an incontinent dog is intrusive and tedious; and the drama takes place mostly in the heroine's head.
Fielding is a skillful storyteller, but all the fine-tuned details do little to save this otherwise compelling tale from its own ending, an intentionally"surprising" and "shocking" finale that nullifies the previous 350 pages.

 globeandmail.com: Let's hear it for Joy Fielding
I would go on to teach Fielding's work and study it, eventually making her acquaintance, in spite of innumerable vicious reviews, and feel, as a reformed ultra-reader, qualified to tell you, among other things, that if you read a certain writer until her books disintegrate, this is not a "guilty" but a sheer pleasure.
Fielding, who changed her name in honour of Henry Fielding, the greatest and sexiest of the 18th-century novelist/parodists, derives her popularity largely through her work as a stylist, as a scholar of language and form.
Pull one thread of Fielding's long project and watch her strategy unravel: She has been telling us, for almost 30 years, that women's lives are utterly exotic and arcane; that when we are good or bad, we make decisions that social theory has yet to accommodate.

 All About Romance Novels: Joy Fielding Interview
Such was the power of Joy Fielding and The First Time, a novel featuring not only a difficult premise, but difficult characters as well.
It's definitely strange to pick up the phone and call someone you've never met and begin to ask her questions about her life and her writing, particularly when that writing is so very intimate.
I certainly felt odd relaying to Joy how her book had affected me, but talking with her was one of those hours of "connection," when, as a reader, I felt connected to another person through their words.
