4.0 out of 5 stars Stark, elegant, and worthwhile, October 6, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: No Bed of Her Own (Paperback)
Most film goers know Val Lewton as the producer and guiding force behind several exemplary "B" thrillers from the forties, such as "The Cat People" and "I Walked with a Zombie". Here, Lewton delivers something more frank, less mysterious, and thoroughly engaging. "No Bed of Her Own" reads like a companion to "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" another novel of the despair borne of poverty. Lewton's writing is spare, clever, and artful, and his heroine, Rose, is pitiful without being pathetic: her slippery slide from stenographer to prostitute is frightening and tragic without being manipulative. The book is a quick read, and the period is captured quite well: along the way we encounter several intriguing characters (both benevolent and poisonous) and Rose learns the limits of her shaky morality. Those who have admired the director's films should find the same kind of sensual detachment that distinguished his thrillers from the forties. Worth picking up.
