Description
T. S. Eliot recognized Djuna Barnes as "incontestably one of the most original writers of our time." This collection of Barnes's early work features journalism (including a firsthand account of the force-feeding endured by suffragettes and an interview with James Joyce), poetry ("The Book of Repulsive Women"), and stories ("Smoke").
Author Biography
In addition to her work as a visual artist, Djuna Barnes (1892-1982) wrote poetry, plays, newspaper and magazine articles, and short stories. A longtime resident of Greenwich Village, Barnes is regarded as an important voice of feminism, modernism, and lesbian culture. New York City-based writer Katharine Maller has edited several Dover titles, including The Dover Anthology of Cat Stories.
