Dodie Smith

    3. Mai 1896 – 24. November 1990

    Dodie Smith schuf Erzählungen, die sich wunderbar mit Themen wie Familie, Zugehörigkeit und der Suche nach dem eigenen Platz in der Welt auseinandersetzen. Ihr Schreiben zeichnet sich durch eine unverwechselbare Stimme aus, die skurrilen Charme nahtlos mit bewegender emotionaler Tiefe verbindet. Smiths Fähigkeit, lebendige Schauplätze und nachvollziehbare Charaktere hervorzurufen, hat Leser über Generationen hinweg angesprochen. Ihre anhaltende Anziehungskraft liegt in ihrer Fähigkeit, die universelle menschliche Erfahrung mit Wärme und Einsicht einzufangen.

    • »Während ich das hier schreibe, sitze ich im Spülbecken«, lautet ein Eintrag in Cassandra Mortmains Tagebuch. Die 17-Jährige lebt mit Vater, Stiefmutter, Schwester und Bruder in einem heruntergekommenen Schloss auf dem Land und langweilt sich. Zum Zeitvertreib übt sie sich im Schreiben, und das am liebsten über ihre unkonventionelle verarmte Künstlerfamilie: den Schriftsteller-Vater, dessen erster Roman sich grandios verkauft hat, der aber seither unter einer Schreibblockade leidet und sich in Kriminalromane vergräbt, die einst glamouröse Model-Stiefmutter, die mit Vorliebe nackt durch die Landschaft spaziert, die schöne, aber meist missmutige Schwester Rose und den kleinen, aber schlauen Bruder Thomas. Dann stirbt überraschend der Schlossbesitzer, und als die Erben, zwei amerikanische Gentlemen, auftauchen, nimmt das Leben der Familie eine unerwartete Wendung.

      The Hundred and One Dalmatians
    • London's theatre world of the 1920's provides a glittering backdrop for Mouse, an eighteen-year-old Lancashire girl intent on a stage career. She tells the story herself with the utmost frankness and with an authenticity which derives from Dodie Smith's own wide experience as both actress and playwright. Mouse never felt that her nickname fully suited her; tiny she might be, but timid never. Within a day of her arrival in town she had bluffed her way into an audition at a famous theatre, infuriated its forceful young stage director, amused its kind if quite amoral actor-manager, Rex Crossway, and finally landed not a part but a toehold as a junior secretary. From then on she was involved in the engrossing affairs of the Crossway Theatre. She was also involved with her friends at the club where she lived -- Molly, a baby-faced six-footer, and elegant, ambitious LIlian who was fated to clash disastrously with Mouse, though even then they could find something to laugh at together. And later there was Zelle, rich, generous, enigmatic, and responsible for an outing to a Suffolk village pageant which proved a turning point for them all.
