Excerpt from The Scrapbook of Katherine MansfieldTherefore I doubt whether the epithet unfinished can validly be applied to more than one or two of these fragments. And for another reason, too. As I have hinted in a note towards the end of this book, Katherine saw, and wrote, in flashes. Sometimes the flashes were rela tively long, sometimes very short indeed. But of steady and equable composition there is no trace in her manu scripts, nor in my memory of her at work. When the full tide of inspiration came, she wrote till she dropped with fatigue - sometimes all through the night, in de fiance of her illness.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
