258: Ailsa Ross (HOVEL) and Jean Rhys' VOYAGE IN THE DARK

Ailsa Ross uses the power of the internet to join Christopher and chat about the pleasure of destruction, letting mosquitoes bite, the cost of licensing museum photos, and other things too. Plus, she brings along a Jean Rhys novel that wasn’t Wide Sargasso Sea,Voyage in the Dark, and both enjoy the embattled, embittered voice.
