Summary:
"Surrealist writer and painter
Leonora
Carrington
(1917-2011) was a master of the macabre, of gorgeous tableaus, biting satire, roguish comedy, and brilliant, effortless flights of the imagination. Nowhere are these qualities more ingeniously brought together than in the works of short fiction she wrote throughout her life. Published to coincide with the centennial of her birth, THE
COMPLETE
STORIES
OF
LEONORA
CARRINGTON
collects for the first time all of her
stories
, including several never before seen in print. With a startling range of styles, subjects, and even languages (several of the
stories
are translated from French or Spanish), THE
COMPLETE
STORIES
captures the genius and irrepressible spirit of an amazing artist's life."--From publisher.
