PRISONER'S BASE

by Celia Fremlin ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 4, 1967

Nobody writes just this kind of domesticated horror story and in this one, her best since her first, Celia Fremlin's at the top of the form she's created--appealing, funny and eventually grim. Claudia, a really dreadful modern young woman representative of the psychiatric enlightenment, collects misfits, inflicts them on her mother (a wonderful old lady) and daughter (a nice youngster)--most recently a young woman muddling around the house in hair curlers, and a poet with a prison record who writes gloomy sonnets. What happens will keep an unprotesting captive audience quiet--it's super-b entertainment.
