La Grosse Fifi is a collection of four short stories by Jean Rhys published in the series of Penguin Mini Modern Classisc. The four stories were taken from the short story collection Tigers are Better-Looking by Jean Rhys, published in 1972.

Short stories collections usually take their title from the longest story in the collection. In this case, that would have been Vienne, but this title might have been considered too short, and too unappealing. Besides, Vienne is an uninspiring story. On the other hand, La Grosse Fifi is an usually colourful story that leaves readers with a strong impression.

Three of the four stories, including La Grosse Fifi belong to Rhys's early work, and were first published in 1927. They were probably written at the time while she lived in Paris and started out on her writing career. ( )
