Tigers are Better-Looking is a collection of short stories written by Dominican author Jean Rhys, published in 1968 by André Deutsch and reissued by Penguin ten years later. This collection's first eight stories were written by Rhys during her 1950s period of obscurity and first published in the early 1960s. The second nine are reissued from her 1927 debut collection The Left Bank and Other Stories. In 1979, the title story from Rhys's collection was adapted into a UK-produced short film, directed by Hussein Shariffe.
