( ) A meaty, impressively gigantic volume chock full o' pudding recipes, ledger totals, unbecoming ambition, stream of thought dalliances, and sexual frustration? This sort of thing is always my cup of tea. Reminds me a bit of Elizabeth Smart, albeit a bit less naked and raw. But still marvelous in that whole "exposed writer as real person, with person-al daily trifling and occasional accidentally beautiful thoughts" vein. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"Katherine Mansfield published three collections of short stories - In a German Pension, Bliss, and The Garden Party - during her tragically short life and was acclaimed as one of modernism's most daring and original writers. After her death from tuberculosis in France, Mansfield's private writings and letters were edited by her husband, John Middleton Murry, and published in four volumes between 1927 and 1954. Murry took liberties in recasting his wife's journals and notes; he excluded most of the vast mass of material and revised much of what he included, resulting in a distorted image of Mansfield as a passive, ethereal spirit." "More than four decades later, the real Mansfield finally emerges in The Katherine Mansfield Notebooks, the first unexpurgated edition of her private writings. Fully and accurately transcribed by editor Margaret Scott, these infrequent diary entries, drafts of letters, introspective notes jotted on scraps of paper, unfinished stories, half-plotted novels, poems, recipes, and shopping lists offer a complete and compelling portrait of a complex woman who was ambitious and at times ruthless, neurotic and sexually voracious, witty and acerbic, fascinated with the minutiae of daily life and obsessed with death."--BOOK JACKET.
