The Devil Wears Prada was criticized primarily for the usual limitations of a first novel and for being too gossipy (as romans à clef often are). The story was seen as trite and clichéd (the same general plot is shared by the 1994 film Swimming with Sharks), and its autobiographical elements too thinly veiled. Many reviewers recalled The Nanny Diaries, similar in several ways to The Devil Wears Prada, and found Weisberger's book wanting. The critics also claimed that Miranda was too one-dimensional, too much the absurdly overbearing boss. Yet Andrea admits that for all that, she still does the difficult work of keeping a premiere fashion magazine on top almost all by herself. As a result, she herself (along with Emily) enjoys considerable power in the fashion world as Miranda's gatekeeper. Accordingly, the novel also makes Miranda seem sympathetic at a few points, most notably at an engagement party thrown for her brother-in-law, who has moved down to South Carolina and made a fortune in real estate. Andrea, surrounded by women from his social circle who 'looked like a dressier version of the cast from Deliverance', even admits 'I never grew tired of watching Miranda. She was the true lady and the envy of every woman in the museum that night'. While The Devil Wears Prada is on a narrative level about Andrea's struggle not to 'sell out' her principles, whether sartorial, literary, or moral, its main preoccupation is snobbery. Andrea looks askance at the fashionistas she is surrounded by at Runway and hates their cliquishness (for example, the magazine's advertising department never invites anyone from the editorial side to their parties for advertisers not because they think the latter beneath them but because they know no one from editorial would be caught dead at an advertising party). But her distaste for them is equally snobbish, as many of the other characters, even (ultimately) Miranda, repeatedly point out to her. Besides her coworkers, Andrea looks condescendingly upon Southerners as well, as her attitude toward her sister and Miranda's brother-in-law's friends demonstrate. Some readers and reviewers complained that Andrea's own snobbery makes her hard to sympathize with. While this is perhaps so, it makes Andrea's apparent triumph at the end of the novel something of a hollow victory, much like the final scene of the 1988 film Working Girl, layered with dramatic irony, in that she has settled, at least temporarily, for working for publications much more middlebrow than her original ambition of making it to The New Yorker. An interesting sub-theme is the tenuousness of Jewish American social identity amid widespread cultural assimilation in the early 21st century. Andrea speaks only Hebrew in addition to English. She identifies herself and her family as Jewish but only once. Otherwise, the Sachses are stereotypically WASPy, living in Avon, Connecticut, worshipping The New Yorker, and playing Scrabble for relaxation. Significantly, the only sign of secular Jewish culture present in their household is the dinner of bagels, lox and latkes Andrea's mother orders the night before Thanksgiving, the American holiday closely linked with the Mayflower Pilgrims, English Protestants from whom direct descent was long a guarantee of a social status that American Jews could never attain. We never see the Sachses celebrating any of the traditional Jewish holidays. It hardly comes as a surprise that Jill has gone native after her marriage and move to Texas. Miranda has gone even further in rejecting her Jewish origins, Andrea learns via a Google search, by changing her name to distance herself from an Orthodox background in the East End, where her father spent his days studying religious texts and was supported by the community. At one point, Andrea evokes this background when she considers leaving Miranda's office by walking backwards, likening it to the way observant Jews are supposed to leave the Wailing Wall. It is thus probably more than a coincidence that Miranda's chosen last name is Priestly and that the character who most epitomizes Andrea's temptations and aspirations is named Christian; or that conversely, her (Jewish) best friends' last names are 'fine man' and 'good one'. In addition to the United States, the book is sold in Albania, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Malaysia, México, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, the United Kingdom and Vietnam.

Funny, Meryl rejected "The Queen" and Helen rejected "Prada" ironic.

[thewomaninthemoon]

@mlsfany I noticed that too,very strange.The only thing I could think of is that maybe she could only have one guest sitting with her so Don and Grace switched seats at one point so they could both sit next to Meryl for a part of the show.
