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, \u003ci\u003eWide Sargasso Sea\u003c\/i\u003e.  This volume includes all the stories from her three collections, \u003ci\u003eThe Left Bank \u003c\/i\u003e(1927), \u003ci\u003eTigers Are Better-Looking\u003c\/i\u003e (1968) and \u003ci\u003eSleep It Off, Lady \u003c\/i\u003e(1976).","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44268364234910,"sku":"UBD-9780141984858","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780141984858.jpg?v=1725452753","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780141984858","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
