Krátky popis
Playful, sharp and fantatsical: a new selection of writing by
Leonora Carrington, the last great SurrealistIn 1940, Leonora
Carrington - a twenty-two-year-old British-born Surrealist artist -
was persuaded to flee France and the advancing German army for
Spain. Already suffering from a psychotic break occasioned by the
arrest of her lover by the Nazi authorities, she was soon confined
to a mental institution, where she was subjected to sadistic
treatment under the guise of medical care. In her memoir, Down
Below, she describes her experiences with an anthropologist's
precision and an artist's sense of the fantastic.This volume also
includes a selection of Carrington's best stories from across her
lifetime, functioning as companion pieces to her
surrealist-inflected non-fiction. They include 'The Debutante', in
which a young woman, wishing to avoid a ball in her honour, swaps
places with a hyena, 'White Rabbits', which sees a friendly
neighbour come by to ask for spare decomposing meat, and 'My
Flannel Knickers', in which a woman has sainthood forced upon her.
