About this listen
Surrealist writer and painter Leonora Carrington was a master of the macabre, of gorgeous tableaus, biting satire, roguish comedy, and brilliant, effortless flights of the imagination. Nowhere are these qualities more ingeniously brought together than in the works of short fiction she wrote throughout her life.
The Complete Stories of Leonora Carrington collects for the first time all of Carrington's stories. With a startling range of styles, subjects, and even languages (several of the stories are translated from French or Spanish), The Complete Stories captures the genius and irrepressible spirit of an amazing artist's life.
Contains mature themes.

Carrington Proves She Truly Was A Bruja In This Magical Collection
The feeling of reading something for the first time that you know you would read countless more times in your life is a special kind of magic.
Surrealism has been by big hyperfixation for the end of the year and Leonora Carrington has been a wonderful way in, remaining a true favourite, alongside her fellow of las tres brujas, Remedios Varo (I still need to dive into the work of Kati Horna). From the moment I saw my food friend add Carrington's novel, The Hearing Trumpet, to their TBR a spell was cast on me that upon reading said novel a pact sealed was sealed in earwax.
I've been meaning to get to this collection for a while and I'm so glad I finally pulled with trigger on an Audible Credit last night. The stories are so strange and magical-so filled with whimsy and emotion and wonder-reading them has been like a religious experience. The narration by Justine Eyre is absolutely fantastic.
Throughout these stories young women seek freedom among horses, hyenas, and questionable holy figures and orders. Many are extremely short bizarre fairytales. All are wondrous.
I am in love with Surrealism and adore the written forms as much, if not more than the visual arts, but I am truly besotted with las tres brujas and the angels of anarchy of which Carrington is a leading figure.

Stream of Consciousness
Leonora Carrington is one of my favourite artists. The surrealism of her paintings works, the surrealism of her writing does not.
The stories feel unfinished and unsatisfying and I found myself waiting for it all to be over.
