Description
Book cover of published work.
'Lorna read, reviewed and supported the work of Angela Carter from its earliest days. In her introduction to this volume of essays, published after Angela's death, Lorna shows the closeness that she felt to Angela's work: '...More than most of her contemporaries, I suspect, she found performing her work not so much an afterthought as a dimension of its real life, something that entered into its nature. In the last two novels, Nights at the Circus (1984) and Wise Children (1991), the protagonists are all performers - professional artistes, no less. The real point about this, though, is the skill with which she got the illusion of voices and bodies on to the page. She was a woman of letters, after all, and that's no small part of the humour of the granny role she invented for herself. She judged, anthologised, edited, introduced, all with zest.' (Introduction, Flesh and the Mirror, 1994)
