Two Serious Ladies
By Jane Bowles
240 pages;
Ecco
Originally published in 1943, this recently reissued cult-classic novel (a favorite of Tennessee Williams's and others) details, with sly anarchy, the sexual exploits of a pair of seemingly buttoned-up, middle-aged women looking to live outside themselves.
Thanks to Seamus Gourley of
[Words] Bookstore in Maplewood, New Jersey, for tipping us off to this one.
