Flesh and the mirror

Descriere

From her relationships to surrealism, from magical realism to her humor, from politics to her grappling with the literary legacies of Virginia Woolf and Marquis de Sade, this distinguished volume of essays commemorates the work of Angela Carter. Here her fellow writers, along with an impressive company of critics, discuss the novels, stories, and polemics that make her one of the most spellbinding authors of her generation. They trace out the signs of her originality, her daring, and her wicked wit, as well as her charm, to produce an indispensable companion to her texts.
