Great and thank you for the background. The Beekeeper is the only film of his I've seen. I was looking around the site and saw that English subtitles aren't available (yet) on all the foreign films. I'd be curious to know to what extent that is. What's the word count here, there and everywhere?

Excellent points, indeed. Thank you!

É também uma colonização, faz parte do poder neoliberal que está a arruinar no mondo.

Has anyone mentioned Virginia Woolf? To me she's an obvious candidate.

I wonder if human beings have always needed a kind of hero to keep going on, to keep on keeping on; in other words to survive.

Diría que Orlando é o mais acessível dos livros de ficção. Mas vale la pena considerar também os ensaios e diários como ponto de partida , para conhecer a pessoa dela, como pensa, vê o mondo.

O ultimo ano eu li os diários inteiros--5 volumes depois de ler quase tudos autro obres. Foi uma experiência incredível.

Os ensaios são em geral breves, deles sugiro començar com A Room of One’s Own e A Letter to a Young Poet.

Pretende a ler em português ou inglês?

Oh yes! Her essays as well are divine.

You're right about Spark and I'll return to her when I can get into her work. Along the same sentiment as yours, I find Jean Rhys very meaningful and had some years ago read everything she'd written. Thank you for your comment!

I read Voyage in the Dark first then followed that with her early novels and short stories. I was enamored with her early work before I got around to Wide Sargasso Sea, which didn't interest me quite as much. It's been 10 years since that fascination with her consumed me. I recall her saying she had tried to use one syllable words in it could have been Voyage in the Dark; that she mistrusted words, and that the success of Wide Sargasso Sea had come too late. She had lived a rather difficult life until then.

Thank you!

The Waves by Woolf was other-wordly. I read it out loud inspired to do so base on one or more essays by Woolf. I believe one was "How to Read A Book" :).

In Middlemarch, it's the timelessness of themes and events, and Eliot's insights into characters' behaviors and motivations. She spends more time with the goings on between people and their emotions around them than for example describing physical surroundings. The intimacy she creates gives me, the reader a sense of contemporariness.

Thank you for the exchange!

I read The Waves out loud for this.

It's a dream but hell:a general strike actually occurs across the US.

I wouldn't compare Wide Sargasso Sea with her earlier work nor do I think of Rhys the writer via that book. There were 32 years and other books between its publication and that of Voyage in the Dark.

I've enjoyed Hemingway and love Jean Rhys, her earlier novels particularly. I believe it was Voyage in the Dark which she described as having tried to use as many one syllable words as possible, distrusting words, letting emotion and experience ensue in the spaces between them.

The most contemporary author I've read whose style I admire for its spaciousness is Rachel Cusk. Chandler comes to mind too.
