unfinished draft of an upcoming novel
from "Sex and the City" author
Candace Bushnell after breaking into
an email account that she used to
share the work with her publisher.
The hacker, who goes by the name
Guccifer, released some 50 pages of
the draft, which is tentatively titled
'Killing Monica,' along with some
emails from Bushnell's Earthlink
account through a Google Drive
account.
Bushnell could not be reached for
comment. Matthew Ballast, a
spokesman for her publisher,
Hachette's Grand Central Publishing,
confirmed that she had written the
materials that were posted on the
Internet.
"I'm having a great deal of fun with
it," Bushnell said in an email that the
hacker posted alongside the draft.
The story begins as a middle-aged
woman named Pandy tells a friendly
cab driver about her divorce as they
make their way to New York City's
LaGuardia Airport.
The protagonist's problems are very
different than those faced by Carrie
Bradshaw, the fashionista protagonist
of "Sex and the City," a book that
HBO turned into a hit television series
in the late 1990s.
