Hi Alyssa, thank you for the mention; I wondered what was driving the extra views of my channel. I am reading one of Carrington's short stories right now and getting more details of her life, particularly her breakdown and the time she was hospitalised in Spain. I really liked your observation that Carrington's writing feels like "a dictation of a surrealist painting" -- that struck a chord and I feel the same. Subscribed!
I loved your breakdown and you inspired me to dig a little deeper for this review. I can't wait to read more from Carrington, she's truly fascinating.
I will definitely be checking this book out for sure
please do and let me know what you think when you're done!
Hi Alyssa, what a great and enthusiastic presentation of Leonora and her novel! 😊 And thanks for the mention 😊. I fully agree that the audiobook is absolutely great and hilarious. Thanks for the snippet of the Interview with Leonora. This sheds some new light on how to look at her painting & writing. Analysing one's feelings triggered by her art is much more rewarding than trying to approach it only with the intellect. I'm currently digging through her short stories (a video on one is currently in preparation), - I think I'll have to read everything she wrote. Best regards from Germany, - David 🤗
Thank you for YOUR wonderful review! I can't wait to see what you have to say regarding her short stories. I need to hunt down a copy and read them. She lived quite a life! I think I need to start with her memoir.
@@NerdyNurseReads Thanks 😊 The first 'close reading' video on her short story 'White Rabbits' is planned for the last week of March, as a collaboration project with another 'Carrington enthusiast'. Would you be interested in a similar form of collaboration on another short story, after you've read some of them?
I would love to join for a discussion of one of her short stories!
@@NerdyNurseReadsGreat! Do you have a favourite / preferred one?
I'm always losing comments!! Sorry for the delay. I have no favorites Carrington is all new to me so I'm open to read anything.
I can't believe Joseph Conrad said that! Can you imagine writing a book that women readers can't relate to in any way?
RIIGHT! What a quote! But I'm also not surprised that it was said. Society likes to belittle things women like. It's very frustrating. I think about how much flack romance and romance readers get meanwhile romance is probably the most profitable genre in publishing. It might not be someone's taste but that doesn't make it any less valid.
For a story that is only 196 pages, the book feels bigger than itself. You will be ensnared instantaneously and unable to cleave yourself from the novel until the end.
She takes us on a wild ride from past to present, up and down, and everywhere in between.
hadn't heard of leonora though I have max ernst wonder if he survived after he was arrested by the nazis also liked what u said about people with dementia I live with one and so know what u mean haha ⚛😀
Ernst did survive! In fact he married Peggy Guggenheim (and divorced her too) after the war and lived her in the states for a time.
I read this last month and it is the best work of fiction I’ve read in a long time! The trick to enjoying this books seems to be taking her advice and not intellectualizing it or doing meta analysis trying to figure out if Marian is actually taking part in these events or what. But yeah it is a joy, basically whimsical summed up in a book. It certainly could be interpreted as a feminist book but I thought a better descriptor would be “divinely feminine”. Anyways glad to see other people enjoying it. It also made me realize that I don’t have any old ladies in my life which is rather depressing😅
We all need a few spicy older ladies in our lives! I need to get to Carrington's short stories this year and maybe her memoir.
