Description
Discover the haunting and powerful short stories of Jean Rhys, author of the acclaimed novel Wide Sargasso Sea.
This collection brings together all three volumes of her short stories: The Left Bank, Tigers Are Better-Looking, and Sleep It Off, Lady. Rendered in vivid and honest prose, these tales reveal a world haunted by painful memories, love affairs, and the author's own experiences growing up in Dominica.
With extraordinary literary powers on full display, this volume offers a fascinating counterpoint to Rhys's most famous novel, while providing a unique glimpse into her writing style and thematic preoccupations.
