«Les tigres sont plus beaux à voir» is the short story collection by Jean Rhys, published by Gallimard in paperback (235 pages, in French).
Originally published in 1968, the book brings together stories written during and after the Second World War and pieces from her first book, «La rive gauche» (1927), set against the bohemian Paris of the 1920s. Jean Rhys explores the fragility of youth and love with an elliptical, lucid prose and astringent humor.
This 1983 edition belongs to the L'Imaginaire collection (no. 118) and includes a preface and translation by Pierre Leyris.
For readers of short fiction and of Jean Rhys's work, particularly those who appreciate stories set in interwar Paris.
