In the short fiction of Angela Carter, the landmarks of reality disappear and give way to a landscape of riotous and uncensored sensibility. The city of Tokyo turns into a mirrored chamber reflecting the impossible longings of an exiled Englishwoman abandoned by her Japanese lover. An itinerant puppet show becomes a theatre of murderous lust. A walk through the forest ends in a nightmarish encounter with a gun-toting nymph and her hermaphrodite 'aunt'. Not simply a book of tales, Fireworks is a headlong plunge into an alternate universe, the unique creation of one of the most fertile, dark, irreverent, and baroquely beautiful imaginations in contemporary fiction. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

FIRST AMERICAN EDITION AND PRINTING. Another in a line of extraordinary publications from the internationally acclaimed and gifted Angela Carter. "Fireworks, subtitled Nine Stories in Various Disguises, is a series of virtuoso prose pieces which shuttle between narrative and meditation to produce a rich and striking weave of the exotic, the erotic, and the horrific. The result is a kind of contemporary gothic in which "mirrors, forsaken castles, haunted forests, forbidden sexual objects" appear in traditional or modern guises, creating an overall effect of the timelessness of human fantasy". 133 pages.

âI started to write short pieces when I was living in a room too small to write a novel in.â So says Angela Carter of this collection, written during a period living in Toyko. These exotic, sensuous stories represent Carterâs first major achievement in the short story form. Lush imaginary forests, a murderous puppet show and an expressionistic vision of Japan: each one instantly conjures an atmosphere, dark and luminous in turn, and from the recognisably daring imagination of one of the great twentieth-century stylists. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
