Larson"Tragic Muse" will leave you with two regrets; albeit worthy ones: first; that her performances are lost to history; second; that you still dont have a grasp on her. This book is not meant so much as a biography as a recounting of Rachel as social and psychological phenomenon. Its an unusual and enjoyable approach; and Brownstein does a beautifully researched if nonlinear job of it. But while were looking at the worlds view of Rachel -- femme fatale; keeper of the antique flame; courtesan; child of Israel -- Id enjoy more of a look at Rachels view of herself. What were her letters really like? Why did so many men love her so well? What did she offer that the world in general did not have? There are lessons that could be learned from these answers; hopefully they too wont be lost to the ages.
