Joyce Elbert

4.9/5 (23369 ratings)

Description:A Tale of Five Cities & Other Memoirs is a collection of eight previously unpublished autobiographical essays by novelist Joyce Elbert (1930–2009), spanning the years of the Great Depression through the mid-1980s, when she was no longer able to find a publisher for her “zany, sexy, campy creations” (her words). Written with subtle humor and often brutal candor, Elbert’s memoirs recount her childhood aspirations, her failed relationships with men (some famous), her struggles with alcoholism, and, of course, her life as a writer."Joyce Elbert in her memoirs is very frankly off-hand, casually salacious, bordering on indifferent, often bleakly so, and in that reminds me of the Jean Rhys in After Leaving Mr. McKenzie, Wide Sargasso Sea, and Good Morning, Midnight, choosing to write in the manner of the 'Sacred Fount' school, as opposed to the 'Ivory Tower,' ferreting out experiences, very like Kerouac and the Beats, getting down and dirty, treating drinking and rutting as existential acts."— Alexander Theroux, author of Darconville's CatWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
