From the bookshelves 51, 52

I lived in Venice,CA in the early nineteen-eighties within walking distance of Small Word Books; mind you walking distance for me at that time was anywhere within four or five miles of where I lived. Living in LA and having a street address with fewer than four digits is quite unusual, too.   I digress. I expect it was whilst browsing the Venice bookstore that I found these books by Eva Figes.
