The Complete Stories of Leonora Carrington

Leonora Carrington, a British and Mexican surrealist painter and novelist, spent most of her adult life in Mexico City and wrote short fiction throughout it. The Dorothy publishing project collected the stories in 2017, a hundred years after her birth, with an introduction by Kathryn Davis. They are macabre and satirical, with gorgeous tableaus and roguish comedy. Jeff VanderMeer calls Carrington essential to twentieth-century non-realist fiction.
