Loneliness. When I start feeling lonely its hard for me to snap out of it. I tend to wallow in it forA clear-eyed chronicle of desperation etched in diamond-hard prose. It amazes me how any book so filled with despair could be so completely free of self-pity, and how any book consisting entirely of an inward monologue could contain such vivid realistic details and make Paris in the '30's come alive!
Theres a great website called The Smoking Gun which features celebrity mugshots. The celebrities are divided into categories : Hollywood (A list and B list), Music, Killers, Business, Gangsters, Sports and Television, and Nuisances. Since they havent got a Writers section, Jean Rhys mugshots would have been a perfect fit in the Nuisances section. But if there was a writers section, shed surely have come top in number of arrests. The quality of the crimes, though, was rather poor.And alas, we don
A disaffected, thirty-something guy abandons his wife, moves to Paris and sleeps with some prostitutes. His name is Henry Miller and the book is called Tropic of Cancer.A disaffected, thirty-something woman, after being abandoned by her husband, goes to Paris and almost sleeps with a gigolo.

Very simply written but it often feels profound in a quite startling way. I didn't love it when I was reading it, maybe because I found parts of it a bit close to the bone, but I now find that I want to read more Rhys.A room is
I had the bright idea of drinking myself to death...I've had enough of these streets that sweat a cold, yellow slime, of hostile people, of crying myself to sleep every night, enough of thinking, enough of remembering. Now whiskey, rum, gin, sherry, vermouth, wine...Drink,drink,drink...As soon as I sober up I start again. I have to force it down sometimes...But nothing. I must be solid as an oak. Except when I cry.What to say about this book? What to say about Jean Rhys?Could she have had a
For your place in a society manage your many faces. Try to understand yourself. Look inward. Ask yourself many questions. Why do I get so angry at any criticism of my mother, yet I guiltlessly condemn her in public? Why am vying for the attention of this man I loathe? Why can't I kiss that girl who I admire so intensely? Why do my thoughts revolve around other people all the time? Why do I feel choked in my chest when I'm sad?
