The Hearing Trumpet (New York Review Books Classics),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
An old woman enters into a fantastical world of dreams and nightmares in this surrealist classic admired by Bj?rk and Luis Bu?uel.Leonora Carrington, painter, playwright, and novelist, was a surrealist trickster par excellence, and The Hearing Trumpet is the witty, celebratory key to her anarchic and allusive body of work. The novel begins in the bourgeois comfort of a residential corner of a Mexican city and ends with a manmade apocalypse that promises to usher in the earth?s rebirth. In between we are swept off to a most curious oldage home run by a selfimprovement cult and drawn several centuries back in time with a crossdressing Abbess who is on a quest to restore the Holy Grail to its rightful owner, the Goddess Venus. Guiding us is one of the most unexpected heroines in twentiethcentury literature, a nonagenarian vegetarian named Marian Leatherby, who, as Olga Tokarczuk writes in her afterword, is ?hard of hearing? but ?full of life.?
