Description
'Julia and the Bazooka' contains some of Kavan's most compelling writing, which owes much to her personal experiences - especially her nearly lifelong addiction to heroin. An important literary work, these stories highlight the shadowed world of the incurable drug addict and probe the psychological aspects of addiction.
Reviews"One of the most mysterious of modern writers, Anna Kavan created a uniquely fascinating fictional world. Few contemporary novelists could match the intensity of her vision." --J.G. Ballard
