5/10/2023 0 Comments Djuna barnes books![]() ![]() ![]() A 1936 review of Nightwoodįrom the original review of Nightwood by Djuna Barnes in The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, March 1937: This is a rare and tempting book, because it might be easily underestimated and just as easily overrated. The novel follows the obsessive love affair of two women, which led to Barnes being called a “lesbian evangelist.” Despite the real-life parallel, Barnes despised and denied the label. Barnes, then in her mid-40s, was still overwhelmed by the breakup with her lover, Thelma Wood. This experimental novel explores the lives and loves of five eccentric and extraordinary people, and may be the first modern novel with a transgender character. Published in 1936, it has long been considered her literary masterpiece, and is still regarded as one of the most influential works of modernist fiction. Nightwood is the best-known novel by Djuna Barnes, American-born expat who spent much of her life among the lesbian circles in 1930s Paris. ![]() ![]() You can track your delivery by going to AusPost tracking and entering your tracking number - your Order Shipped email will contain this information for each parcel.
