SHAKE A LEG:
What does it say about visitors to nzedge when Kylie Bax’s Sports Illustrated cover gets more downloads this month than the brilliant new biography of Katherine
Mansfield?
“Katherine Mansfield’s life was also a lesson in casting off convention. Famously, Mansfield remarked ‘risk, risk everything’. In the words of one of her biographers, ‘It was largely through her adventurous spirit, her eagerness to grasp at experience and to succeed in her work, that she became ensnared in disaster . . . If she was never a saint, she was certainly a martyr, and a heroine in her recklessness, her dedication and her courage.'”
So that’s the link huh! Kathy’n Kylie! Nah!
