Two Serious Ladies - By: Ms JR Lloyd, 20 Aug 2003
Two Serious Ladies is a book I've read many times with the same curious delight at its absolute oddness. It has been my favourite book for a long time, but I keep giving my copies away to people. It is truly hard to describe, Jane Bowles was the most unique writer, her short stories & this short novel have the ability to infuriate & mystify the reader, eccentric is a word that comes to mind. In writerly terms she does a lot of things wrong & yet gets things so utterly right. I've never known another person who has read her, & I always wish that everybody had.
