THE COLLECTED SHORT STORIES - JEAN RHYS KARTONI...

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).
