These stories feel like surreal dreams of dark fairy tales. Carrington's tales are imaginative, funny, disturbing, and sprinkled with some whimsically symbolic social commentary regarding class and society that sadly is as applicable today as it was in the 1930s. I enjoy absurd aesthetics, but I also love powerfully meaningful stories - this book has both. This collection of stories is easily the weirdest book I have ever read. Leonora Carrington was long associated with the painter Max Ernst. Fittingly, her stories are classified as surrealistic fiction and merge the boundaries between people and animals. Despite the weirdness, they are very engrossing and several remain with you for a long while after the book is finished. The Complete Stories of Leonara Carrington by Leonara Carrington Translated from French by Katherine Talbot Translated from Spanish by Anthony Kerrigan 2017 Dorothy, a publishing project 5.0/5.0 Carringtons 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 Debutante A Man In Love The Three Hunters White Rabbits Some 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! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"Surrealist writer and painter Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) 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. Published to coincide with the centennial of her birth, The Complete Stories of Leonora Carrington collects for the first time all of her stories, including several never before seen in print. With a startling range of styles, subjects, and even languages (many of the stories are translated from French or Spanish), this collection captures the genius and irrepressible spirit of an amazing artist's life."--Page 4 of cover.

Surrealism has been by big hyperfixation for the end of the year and Leonora Carrington has been a wonderful way in, remaining a true favourite, alongside her fellow of las tres brujas, Remedios Varo (I still need to dive into the work of Kati Horna). From the moment I saw my food friend add Carrington's novel, The Hearing Trumpet, to their TBR a spell was cast on me that upon reading said novel a pact sealed was sealed in earwax.
I've been meaning to get to this collection for a while and I'm so glad I finally pulled with trigger on an Audible Credit last night. The stories are so strange and magical-so filled with whimsy and emotion and wonder-reading them has been like a religious experience. The narration by Justine Eyre is absolutely fantastic.
Throughout these stories young women seek freedom among horses, hyenas, and questionable holy figures and orders. Many are extremely short bizarre fairytales. All are wondrous.
I am in love with Surrealism and adore the written forms as much, if not more than the visual arts, but I am truly besotted with las tres brujas and the angels of anarchy of which Carrington is a leading figure. ( )
