Tigers Are Better Looking by Jean Rhys
A spare, melancholic collection of short stories that follows mostly women who drift between places and relationships, haunted by longing, shame, and the small cruelties of others; the intimate, wry narrative voice exposes moments of desire, humiliation, and economic precarity against both urban and colonial backdrops. The prose is economical and vividly atmospheric, illuminating how displacement, memory, and failed intimacies leave subtle but lasting scars on ordinary lives.
