Selected Works of Djuna Barnes
Selected Works of Djuna Barnes | Djuna Barnes

The best writings of one of the great twentieth-century American stylists, whose extraordinary novel Nightwood, about rootless and sexually ambiguous expatriates in Paris between the wars, is a modern classic. T. S. Eliot praised it for 'the great achievement of a style, the beauty of phrasing, the brilliance of wit and characterisation, and the quality of horror and doom very nearly related to that of Elizabethan tragedy'. As well as Nightwood this striking volume contains Spillway, a collection of early stories, and the rare and remarkable verse play The Antiphon, completed at the end of Djuna Barnes's life.

We've finished our latest Lite Reads pick, Come Into the Roof Garden, Maud by Djuna Barnes! I'm personally not a big fan of this modernist classic, but I did enjoy thinking over some aspects. You can read my full review in the link below. Be sure to drop a comment to share your thoughts. New selection shortly!
