Anna Kavan

Více o knize

Focusing on Anna Kavan's experimental fiction, this critical study compares her work with contemporaries like Jean Rhys and Doris Lessing, challenging the notion of her writing as unique. It offers in-depth analyses of her early and wartime narratives, as well as her postwar novels, highlighting how Kavan's prose blurs the lines between experimental and realist literature. The study emphasizes themes of identity and the interplay between reality and fiction, while also advocating for a reevaluation of mid-twentieth-century experimental writing.
