| Jean Rhys, ca. 1920
By Lilian Pizzichini, New York, WW Norton & Co., 2009
Jean Rhys was a difficult person who lived a hard life and possessed a rare literary talent. The strength of this biography is that Pizzichini wants to tell the tale of Rhys's life as she experienced it. Rather than labeling Rhys as having a "borderline personality disorder," Pizzichini creates an empathetic portrait of the author. Rhys wrote Wide Sargasso Sea while in her 70s and often consuming a bottle of whiskey per day. |
