  1. Trying to find audiobooks by #JeanRhys is frustrating.

    #Audible has nothing, nada, zilch.
    Librivox "No results found".
    Next trying YT.

    EDIT: YT has The Wide Sargasso Sea - a post-colonial response (prequel around #EdwardFairfaxRochester) to #JaneEyre.
    Performed well, with accents. Produced by Isis Audio - probably 2007, performance by #AnnaBentinck.

    But only a radioplay of #GoodMorningMidnight was found.

  2. Looking for an #Audiobook of #JeanRhys' #GoodMorningMidnight.

    Anyone know of one?

    Maybe in a collection of short stories?

    (That'd be a human reader, non-"AI enhanced" audio.)

    #Audible (at least in Australia) shows nothing by Jean Rhys. (Just a biography of her.)
    Nothing, on G, (but then that's been crapified).

  3. Who knows why the book was chosen?
    Not I.

    But #GoodMorningMidnight immediately after #BoySwallowsUniverse is ... a jarring experience.

    Gone is the criminally violent melodrama. And positivity.
    In is something that each member of the venerable club has lived beside. Or lived out. For decades.

    Only seen snippets of reviews so far.
    And some photos.

    You're going to take this the wrong, wrong way I'm guessing.
    But I've got a really bad feeling about this book.

    Not oversharing, not too honest, more "spot on target" to a central delicate issue or two.

    Maybe something that hasn't really been "solved".
