Writerly snippet of the day – from Julia Kristeva’s book on Colette – JK reports that Colette ran a beauty parlour in 1932-33 in which ‘clients came out somewhat uglier than they went in’ (60). This in a paragraph after explaining Colette had a ‘Marxist’ intuition, whatever that may be in a well-to-do writer, not much impacted by the wall street crash even though her then partner lost a bundle as his trade was pearls… a great read so far.
