Exploring ten pivotal works, we watch how Mansfields desire to grow as a writer pushed her art into unknown territory, and how illness sharpened her extraordinary vitality Would you not like to try all sorts of lives one is so very small.What a gift to the biographer, this life of adventure and sickness and sex and celebrity...
