Smile Please: An Unfinished Autobiography | 
Today is the birth date of one of my all-time favorites, Jean Rhys. I was exposed to her my junior year of college in my Modernist fiction course, and I am transported back to that time when I read her. Her writing is concise and packed with intensity. Predatory relationships, race, agency, depression, and alcoholism. Fear and distrust depicted so well.
LindaLappin I love the Brassai photo on the cover 3y
Michael_Gee @LindaLappin This edition has a Brassai photo before each of her novels. It is such a good pairing! 3y
LindaLappin @Michael_Gee I agree! I waited 3 hrs in the rain a few years ago to see a Brassai exhibit at the Hotel de Ville - and it was worth the wait. 3y
Michael_Gee @LindaLappin oh that sounds so worth it! 3y
