Fireworks: Available Copies

Here is the ritualism of Tokyo where lovers ponder the intangible reflections of themselves, 'reflections of nothing but appearances, in a city dedicated to seeming', and 'the velvet nights spaked with menace' of a wasted London, poised on the brink of destruction. In these extraordinary tales Angela Carter pinpoints the symbolism of the city streets and weaves allegories around forests and jungles of strange and erotic landscapes of the imagination.

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.
