There seem to be so many writers who’ve gotten a bad rap through history, and have been almost forgotten. I haven’t read Du Maurier, but now I want to. Thanks!

the insight ms basset provides is quite compelling. understanding literature from such a contextual stand point really gives way to greater appreciation for the piece and literature overall.
thanks for the thoughtful analysis.

Thanks, JK. I agree, she was a fabulous short story writer and yes, Don’t Look Now is an amazing film that uses a place (Venice) just the way Du Maurier would have liked. I’ll be talking about Du Maurier and Hitchcock in my next post…some great films came out of that too and are worth checking out.

I completely agree that Du Maurier gets the short end of the stick. She was also a fabulous short story writer, as evidenced by her dark collection Don’t Look Now — which gave us the AMAZING film starring Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland. (”A Border Line Case” is another story in the collection that makes it worth checking out.)
