'The abyss. Despair. All those things.'
With an Introduction by Diana Athill
Bringing together all of Jean Rhys's short stories, this collection contains some of her most dazzling and devastating writing. Here are seedy hotels and bars in bohemian Paris, ruinous love affairs, Caribbean childhoods, ex-chorus girls in London bedsits, old ladies in drunken, genteel poverty; always outsiders, always close to the edge. Told with painful clarity and sharp humour, they cover the whole of her writing life, including all of her collections The Left Bank, Tigers Are Better-Looking and Sleep It Off, Lady as well as three additional stories.
'Includes some of the best British short stories of the last century ... You hear her voice speaking directly to you; her reality is your reality' Guardian
'The force of her stories lies in the fusion of elegant prose with an uncanny penetration into the darker reaches of the soul' Washington Post

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. New to Penguin Classics, the remarkable, devastating collected stories by the author of Wide Sargasso SeaSome of Jean Rhys's most powerful writing is to be found in this rich, dark collection of her collected stories. Her fictional world is haunted by her own, painful memories- of cheap hotels and drab Parisian cafes; of devastating love affairs; of her childhood in Dominica; of drifting through European cities, always on the periphery and always perilously close to the abyss. Rendered in extraordinarily vivid, honest prose, these stories show Rhys at the height of her literary powers and offer a fascinating counterpoint to her most famous novel, Wide Sargasso Sea. This volume includes all the stories from her three collections, The Left Bank (1927), Tigers Are Better-Looking (1968) and Sleep It Off, Lady (1976).
