About this audiobook
Surrealist writer and painter Leonora Carrington was a master of the macabre, of gorgeous tableaus, biting satire, roguish comedy, and brilliant, effortless flights of the imagination. Nowhere are these qualities more ingeniously brought together than in the works of short fiction she wrote throughout her life.
The Complete Stories of Leonora Carrington collects for the first time all of Carrington's stories. With a startling range of styles, subjects, and even languages (several of the stories are translated from French or Spanish), The Complete Stories captures the genius and irrepressible spirit of an amazing artist's life.
Contains mature themes.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The Complete Stories of Leonara Carrington by Leonara Carrington Translated from French by Katherine TalbotTranslated from Spanish by Anthony Kerrigan2017Dorothy, a publishing project5.0/5.0Carringtons novels have come to epitomize surrealism,and really there is no other way to explain this brilliant, strange and absorbing stories. This includes all her short stories, some a bit autobiographical, but all of them haunting. I first found her through her surreal art work. Amazing.Favorites include:The DebutanteA Man In LoveThe Three HuntersWhite Rabbits
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Some of the most remarkable short stories I've ever read: surrealistic fairy tales that are atmospheric, eerie, and sublime. The images are fantastic, word-paintings of strange worlds where animals speak, the unspeakable is eaten, and characters transform from people, to animals, to corpses and other inanimate objects. A feast to be sipped and savored!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A collection of entertaining short stories from a surrealist painter. They have a Kafkaesque quality, accepting dream logic without much surprise. Any one story is fun, though as an anthology, it gets repetitive. Pick it up and read a story here, a story there.
