The Passion Of New Eve Av Angela Carter

<p><b>''Her Imagination was one of the most dazzling this century'' MARINA WALKER, <i>INDEPENDENT </i></b><br><br><b>''The way to Carter''s visionary and lurid world'' <i>THE TIMES</i></b><br><br><b>''The darting, lyrical pen of Angela Carter, mistress of the erotic picaresque'' <i>KIRKUS REVIEWS</i></b><br><br><i>''I know nothing. I am a tabula rasa, a blank sheet of paper, an unhatched egg. I have not yet become a woman, although I possess a woman''s shape. Not a woman, no: both more and less than a real woman. Now I am a being as mythic and monstrous as Mother herself . . . ''<br></i><br>New York has become the City of Dreadful Night where dissolute Leilah performs a dance of chaos for Evelyn. But this young Englishman''s fate lies in the arid desert, where a many-breasted fertility goddess will wield her scalpel to transform him into the new Eve. <i>The Passion of New Eve </i>is an extraordinary journey into the apocalyptic vision of the author Lorna Sage called ''The boldest of English women writers''.</p>
