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, \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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003eJean Rhys was born in Dominica in 1894. After arriving in England aged sixteen, she became a chorus girl and drifted between different jobs before moving to Paris, where she started to write in the late 1920s. She published a story collection and four novels, after which she disappeared from view and lived reclusively for many years. In 1966 she made a sensational comeback with her masterpiece, \u003ci\u003eWide Sargasso Sea, \u003c\/i\u003ewritten in difficult circumstances over a long period.
