Beattie's Book Blog : By Jason Boog on Galley Cat, Fifty Shades of Grey author E.L. James debuted on TIMEmagazine’s TIME 100 list this year, joining comedians turned writers and Steve Jobs’ biographer on the prestigious list. TIME editor-at-large Brenda Luscombe wrote: “Six months ago she was Erika Leonard, a mother of two who dabbled in saucy stories for the Web. Now she’s E.L. James, publishing phenomenon, whose Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy has deeply stirred booksellers, Hollywood and, apparently, many, many mothers. Reading may never be the same.” The TIME 100 list also included features about Ann Patchett(written by Elizabeth Gilbert), Walter Isaacson (written by Madeleine Albright), Stephen Colbert (written by Garry Trudeau), Chelsea Handler (written by Kathy Griffin), and Asghar Farhadi (written by Richard Corliss).
