Jean Rhys, original name Ella Gwendolen Rees Williams, (born August 24, 1890, Roseau, Dominica, Windward Islands, West Indies—died May 14, 1979, Exeter, Devon, England), West Indian novelist who earned acclaim for her early works set in the bohemian world of Europe in the 1920s and ’30s but who stopped writing for nearly three decades, until she wrote a successful novel set in the West Indies. ean Rhys has long been central to debates in feminist, modernist, Caribbean, British and postcolonial writing. Elaine Savory's study, which incorporates and modifies previous critical approaches, is a critical reading of Rhys's entire oeuvre, including the stories and autobiography, and is informed by Rhys's own manuscripts. Designed both for the serious scholar on Rhys and those unfamiliar with her writing, Savory's book insists on the importance of a Caribbean-centred approach to Rhys, and shows how this context profoundly affects her literary style. Informed by contemporary arguments on race, gender, class and nationality, Savory explores Rhys's stylistic innovations - her use of colours, her exploitation of the trope of performance, her experiments with creative non-fiction and her incorporation of the metaphysical into her texts. This study offers a comprehensive account of the life and work of this most complex and enigmatic of writers.
Julia Martin is at the end of her rope in Paris. Once beautiful, she was taken care of by men. Now after leaving her lover, she is running out of luck. A visit to London to see her ailing mother and distrustful sister bring her stark life into full focus.

So obscure, so self-referential, so typically Rhys. "La vie est une spirale"-- Dante reenacted,
評分越讀越喜歡的一本小說。Julia讓我想起蕭紅,電影《黃金時代》裏湯唯的樣子總浮現在我麵前。可憐又心疼Julia,她的生活可以說一塌糊塗。在她母親去世的追悼會上,她遲到瞭,說:“I‘m sorry. I couldn't help it." 我纔發現,她是明白自己的,she couldn‘t help it. 她很可愛,維護前夫那段,對待其他男人的率真,讓她受傷害,但仍袒露自己活著。Mr Horsefield也是個有意思的形象。整個故事是悲傷的,我還想讀更多Jean Rhys,需要先休整一段時間,recover。
