A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY SALMAN RUSHDIE

'When you read all the stories collected together, a sense of joy erupts that such writing can exist' Daily Telegraph

As well as her eight novels, Angela Carter published four wonderful collections of short stories during her lifetime, and contributed stories to several anthologies. The stories were scattered amongst different publishers, and a couple of the volumes are now out of print. In Burning your Boats they were gathered for the first time; this is a key collection and required reading for Angela Carter aficionados.

'A fine, fierce, incandescent talent' Scotland on Sunday
