New to Penguin Classics, the remarkable, devastating collected
stories by the author of Wide Sargasso Sea. Some 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 cafés; 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).
