L- have you read ” west by the night” by Beryl Markham? One of my very favorite books, written within Karen Bliken’s circle of peers. Here is Hemingway’s note on Beryl’s book.
“Did you read Beryl Markham’s book, West With The Night? …She has written so well, and marvellously well, that I was completely ashamed of myself as a writer. I felt that I was simply a carpenter with words, picking up whatever was furnished on the job and nailing them together and sometimes making an okay pig pen. But this girl, who is to my knowledge very unpleasant and we might even say a high-grade bitch, can write rings around all of us who consider ourselves as writers … it really is a bloody wonderful book.”
So I highly recommend it if you’ve missed getting to it.
