Burning Your Boats: The Collected Short Stories

One of our most imaginative and accomplished writers, Angela Carter left behind a dazzling array of work: essays, citicism, and fiction. But it is in her short stories that her extraordinary talentsâ€”as a fabulist, feminist, social critic, and weaver of talesâ€”are most penetratingly evident. This volume presents Carter's considerable legacy of short fiction gathered More »

[ 4.0 stars ] "The world of an Angela Carter short story is a world at once fantastic and familiar. Tigers, werewolves and other beasts stalk through; Bluebeard, Red Riding Hood and Puss-in-Boots perform new, startling acts. Hollywood, pantomime, the fairground, Shakespearean comedy all lend their forms to have them smashed up and put back together as something quite different. But through it all the feeling of ..."

[ 5.0 stars ] "I absolutely love this book. Carter's stories are so visual, so haunting, they stay with you forever. Usually I'd stay clear of anything related to fantasy or fable after all the bad compilations of stories I've read on the subject. This collection is fantastic. Carter was a top notch writer. I recommend these stories for readers of all interests. ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 2.0 stars ] "The book of forty-two tales is divided into six sections. The first, Early Work, 1962-6, shows little promise, but highlights the modifier-mania that would seize her career. The Man Who Loved A Double Bass follows the title's theme and ends weakly. A Very, Very Great Lady And Her Son At Home is both banal and dull. The third and final tale, A Victorian Fable (With Glossary), is a classic gimmi ..." Courtesy by Amazon
