It’s J.K. Rowling like you’ve never read her before: sex, drugs — and language that would make Hermione Granger turn scarlet.
The “Harry Potter” author’s first novel for adults is set to hit bookstores Thursday, and Rowling is making no excuses for the very grownup prose and plotline in “The Casual Vacancy.”
In a rare interview, Rowling shrugged off the suggestion that she will face criticism for exposing fans of her G-rated wizard series to the kind of novel that likens a used condom to “the gossamer cocoon of some huge grub.”
“There is no part of me that feels that I represented myself as your children’s baby-sitter or their teacher,” Rowling told the New Yorker magazine.
“I was always, I think, completely honest. I’m a writer, and I will write what I want to write.”
The contents of the 512-page book — already No. 3 on the Amazon best-seller list based on preorders — have been guarded as closely as the Sorcerer’s Stone.
