Unique Stories

Totally recommended for those who enjoy dreams, surrealism and find inspiration in these two reigns. Words fall short to describe the stories in this book. I have read the Spanish version and the language and descriptive narratives are beautiful. English has a different tone but this version wont fail to disappoint.

A ride along the edge of reason...

A truly original collection of surrealist fiction with a feminist twist. Carrington's stories are dense with occultist and cabalistic symbolism which may at first appear daunting, but which also contain a strong dose of black humour that never fails to be engaging. The language itself is both beautiful and strange, and many of these stories were originally written in French and Spanish, as well as the writer's native English.Highlights include "As they rode along the edge", "My Mother is a Cow" and the novella "The Stone Door." This fascinating collection, from an often-overlooked writer, is an essential addition to the bookshelf of anyone with an interest in feminist or surrealist literature.
