Edition: First edition.
Description: vii, 215 pages ; 18 cm
Surrealist writer and painter Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) was a master of the macabre, of gorgeous tableaus, biting satire, roguish comedy, and brilliant, effortless flights of the imagination. Nowhere are these qualities more ingeniously brought together than in the works of short fiction she wrote throughout her life. Published to coincide with the centennial of her birth [this volume] collects for the first time all of her stories, including several never before seen in print. With a startling range of styles, subjects, and even languages [the work] captures the genius and irrepressible spirit of an amazing artist's life.
