<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>2020 Reprint of the 1943 Edition. The only novel by avant-garde literary star Jane Bowles, the highly influential wife of legendary writer Paul Bowles, <em>Two Serious Ladies</em> is a modernist cult classic, mysterious, profound, anarchic, and funny, that follows two respectable women as they descend into debauchery. Christina Goering, eccentric and adventurous, and Frieda Copperfield, anxious but enterprising, are two serious ladies who want to live outside of themselves. Old friends, each will take a surprising path in search of salvation: during a visit to Panama, Mrs. Copperfield abandons her husband, finding solace in a relationship with a teenage prostitute; while Miss Goering, a wealthy spinster, pursues sainthood via sordid encounters with the basest of men. At the end the two women meet again, each radically altered by her experience.</p>
