Résumé

Instrumental in revisioning the potential of the short story form, Katherine Mansfield’s ‘Bliss and Other Stories’ captures the accuracy of raw emotion and social experience. Inviting readers to reflect upon our most vulnerable of states, this collection constitutes a deep dive into what it means to be human. Featuring a selection of new poetry and short story by acclaimed New Zealand author Paul Morris, as inspired by Mansfield herself.

‘Bliss and Other Stories’ is the ideal companion for fans of Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams fans of ‘The Notebook’.

Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923) was a short story writer and poet from New Zealand who was widely considered one of the most influential and important authors of the modernist movement. Having settled in England at the age of 19, Virginia Woolf and D.H. Lawrence were among her literary friends and admirers. She died of tuberculosis at the age of 34. Her life and best-know short stories were adapted into the 1973 TV series 'A Picture of Katherine Mansfield'.

Katherine Mansfield (auteur)

Née Kathleen Beauchamp (1888-1923), Katherine Mansfield quitte à 18 ans sa Nouvelle-Zélande natale pour étudier en Angleterre, où sa nature libre offusque et fascine. D’abord attirée par la musique, elle suit les traces de sa cousine, la romancière Elizabeth von Arnim, en se consacrant aux lettres. Ce météore de la littérature néo-zélandaise marque l’histoire du modernisme et révolutionne le genre de la nouvelle. L’intense écrivaine meurt de la tuberculose à l’Institut Gurdjieff, près de Fontainebleau, à seulement 34 ans. À l’annonce de sa mort, Virginia Woolf confie à son journal : « Elle avait la vibration. »
