Description
Book Synopsis* A magnificent selection of Angela Carter 's journalistic and critical work, this shows her as one of the funniest and most perceptive critics of our age, a maverick who didn't miss a thing.
Trade ReviewAngela Carter's journalism exists somewhere in the territory marked out by Roland Barthes of MYTHOLOGIES, middle-period Orwell, and early Tom Wolfe * Guardian *
Her imagination was one of the
most dazzling this century * Independent *
With the rise of feminist theory, reclamation of folktale and world domination of magical realism, Carter became a canon in her own right * Guardian *
Her writing occupies a unique place in twentieth century fiction, a place where myths around gender and sexuality are debunked and where not even the deepest darkest recesses of human imagination are off-limits -- Fay Godwin * British Library *
