Two Serious Ladies. Jane Bowles. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1943. First edition. Original dust jacket.The Hotel de las Palmas is a gnatty pension where pimps and winos lie about. It is here, in a rundown Panamanian port town called Colon that Frieda Copperfield, a fine lady of early middle age and of respectable provenance, decides to jettison her handsome but square husband to find warmth and gin-soaked comfort in the arms of a teen-age prostitute named Pacifica. -- source link
