A rather loose charcoal drawing after The Coral Necklace by Harold Gilman. I imagine her rather as a character from a Jean Rhys novel, large drink just out of shot.

Early Jean Rhys...

One of my favourite writers. Who can imagine a better life than being an impoverished, neurodiverse ex-chorus girl in the 1920’s/30’s attempting to slowly drink yourself to death?

Just finished reading Jean Rhys’ Good Morning, Midnight - a true journey of and into the soul. A novel (if one call it that) of what it is to be human. Very moved.

My daughter loved Jane Eyre and read Wide Sargasso Sea by #JeanRhys in a college class. She was so taken with it she bought me a copy. Well, I also loved Jane Eyre so I jumped in. This is such a sensuous and tense read. It’s gorgeous and troubling and so so good.

Noise first became a public health issue in interwar Britain – called the ‘age of noise’ by dystopian author Aldous Huxley.
