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.

First Edition. Pages clean and crisp. Binding sound. Corners square and sharp. Dust jacket clean, intact, and shiny. Price in upper dj inside clipped.

'I started to write short pieces when I was living in a room too small to write a novel in.' So says Angela Carter of this collection, written during a period living in Toyko. These exotic, sensuous stories represent Carter's 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.
