Very good. Garden City. 1947. Doubleday. 1st American Edition. Some Slight Water-Staining to the Rear Boards at the Bottom, Otherwise Good. No Dustjacket. 223 pages. hardcover. keywords: Literature England Women. FROM THE PUBLISHER-This is writing which probes far into the mysterious world of dreams and night shadows. It is the story of a girl who has rejected normal relationships for what seemed to her the greater realities-a borderline world she inhabits at night. Exploring this new world of symbols she relives parts of her past life: Her childhood and the mother who died when she was young: Herr relations with her father who was always too busy to answer the questions she was afraid to ask; Her days at school when she found herself unable to accept authority; The stupidity of the family doctor who was not equipped to understand or prescribe a cure for her problems; Her days at the university where people were kinder to her, but where she was unable to accept friends because she had grown to mistrust all kindness. Anna Kavan is acknowledged in England as one of the most significant writers of her generation. As a lay worker in the field of mental illness, she speaks from something very akin to personal experience. inventory #45065.
