Product Details


Product Description

Review

'Fizzing with allegory, symbolism and surprises' - 'The Times'.


Product Description

Here is the ritualism of Tokyo where lovers ponder the intangible reflections of themselves, 'reflections of nothing but appearances, in a city dedicated to seeming', and 'the velvet nights spaked with menace' of a wasted London, poised on the brink of destruction. In these extraordinary tales Angela Carter pinpoints the symbolism of the city streets and weaves allegories around forests and jungles of strange and erotic landscapes of the imagination.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nine Profane Pieces, May 29 2007
This review is from: Fireworks (Paperback)
The tale, as opposed to the story, has but one moral function -- according to Angela Carter -- and this is to create unease. Of course I'm a fan of Carter's linguistic pyrotechnics. In this book she blends reminiscences with profane tales. All are dreamlike works of perception and craft. Tough to find this book but worth reading as there are some brilliant passages that snap the brain and choke the airways. Wonderful book
