Jean Rhys, described by
Al
Alvarez as one of the
finest British writers of this century , was an artist of
brilliance and fury best known for her late literary
masterpiece. Wide Sargasso Sea. But she was also
a woman in constant psychological turmoil, never
far from the edge, whose blazing talent rescued her
time and time again from the abyss.
In The Blue Hour, Lilian
Pizzichini
enters Rhys s twilit
demimonde, starting with her dreamy girlhood in
the lush island heat of Dominica and following
her vagabond existence from chorus girl to
artist s model in cold, inhospitable London, to
abandoned wife and hapless mother in
bohemian
1
920s Paris, through three failed marriages and
five misunderstood books to screaming drunk in
suburban Beckenham, and finally to feted elderly
author who considered her critical acclaim to have
come too late .
Rhys was made a CBE in
1978,
the year before she
died. This compelling and heartbreaking biography
-
the first truly intimate account of Rhys since her
unfinished autobiography. Smile Please, in
1979
-
is an unforgettable portrait of a woman whose
writing was both her life and her lifeline, and a
unique attempt to see the world as Rhys herself
saw it: hostile, chaotic, full of flawed humanity
and fragile dreams, life experienced through the
thinnest of skins.
LILIAN
PIZZICHINI
has worked for the Literary Review
and the Times Literary Supplement. Her first book.
Dead Men s Wages, won the
2002
Crime Writers
Association Gold Dagger for Non-fiction. Until
recently she was writer-in-residence in a prison.
She lives in London.
