In Portraits, Elaine Feinstein writes both of people she has known, and those she has loved only through their work. She evokes both Jean Rhys and Sylvia Plath with particular poignancy, and the Russian poet Bella Akhmadulna - met in Moscow and Paris - with tender admiration. She wonders at Billie Holiday's need to silence memory, and the disparity between Raymond Chandler's own life and the world Feinstein found so seductive in her adolescence. Joseph Roths's melancholy wit and his ability to enjoy life on the run delight her. Disraeli's sheer nerve wins her affection, even as she ponders the very different experience of Jewish poets such as Isaac Rosenberg, Siegfried Sassoon and Emanuel Litvinoff.
