Thank you everyone who came for this lovely event Tiverton Book Festival celebrating the lives of Jean Rhys and Selma Vaz Dias with wonderful biographer Miranda Seymour. Her book 'I used to Live Here Once' is an absolute master piece of biographical research and writing. An opportunity to show the paintings of Selma Vaz Dias and talk a bit about her extraordinary life and the whole thing held together so beautifully by the music of @jonny_nance

It is likely you have never heard of Selma Vaz Dias, she was an actress and painter who had a long and tumultuous friendship with the novelist Jean Rhys. She also was an early promoter of the work of Genet, Lorca and other European playwrites. Her correspondence with Jean reveals an intense creative relationship spanning decades. Although she was cast as the villain by biographers and publishers a closer look at her remarkable life and archive reveals a unique and influential woman way ahead of her time.
As part of Tiverton Book Festival Tara Fraser will be speaking to Miranda Seymour about her outstanding biography of Jean Rhys, Jean's life in Devon and her friendship with Selma Vaz Dias. You can see some of Selma's paintings at Ashley Court.
