Summary
The book's two serious ladies want to break away from the constraints of being themselves. Christina Goering and Frieda Copperfield each embark on their own voyage of discovery and emancipation. Mrs. Copperfield visits Panama with her husband, but finds herself falling in love with a prostitute and descending into a shadowy and seedy demimonde of brothels and bars. Miss Goering abandons her family for an austere island existence, only to yield to a series of increasingly sordid encounters with strange men.
At the end, the two women meet again, each transformed by her experience; the listener transformed by the devastating wit, strange clarity, and lack of nicety with which Jane Bowles vivisects society and women's place in it.
This new edition weds Bowles's daring and her authority as we restore her to her rightful place as an unparalleled modernist writer and thinker.
