The Times described her as “One of London’s most celebrated literary lesbians.”〔http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/life/celebrity/article1759469.ece〕 She was dubbed a “notorious lesbian author” by the Daily Mail in 2007.〔http://www.dailymail.co.uk/columnists/article-355775/The-wife-lesbian-gondolier.html〕 In a Varsity 2011 (Cambridge University newspaper) interview with Theobald, the paper described her as “No ordinary female writer.”〔http://archive.varsity.co.uk/744.pdf〕 She has been the subject of controversy - punk doyenne designer Vivienne Westwood is a vociferous anti-fan of Theobald’s work. At a London society party in 2009 she approached her to announce that she ‘hated’ Theobald’s novels adding that A Partial Indulgence was “Like vomit coming at you off the page.”〔http://www.stephanietheobald.co.uk〕 ==Background== Theobald was born in Ipswich, Suffolk in 1966.
