Extraordinary essays from one of the century's finest writers

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY MICHAEL MOORCOCK

Angela Carter was one of the most important and influential writers of our time: a novelist of extraordinary power and a searching critic and essayist.This selection of her writing, which she made herself, covers more than a decade of her thought and ranges over a diversity of subjects giving a true measure of the wide focus of her interests: the brothers Grimm; William Burroughs; food writing, Elizbaeth David; British writing: American writing; sexuality, from Josephine Baker to the history of the corset; and appreciations of the work of Joyce and Christina Stead.

This excellent posthumous collection of her book reviews and literary appreciations...sparkles with life. They have not aged.

She writes wonderfully and generously on the writers she admires, from Ballard to Kureishi, with a delicate light touch, and both evocatively and intelligently on food
