Burning Your Boats

The Collected Short Stories

by Angela Carter

with an Introduction by Salman Rushdie

Back Cover:

One of our most imaginative and accomplished writers, Angela Carter left behind a dazzling array of work: essays, criticism, and fiction. But it is in her short stories that her extraordinary talents -- as a fabulist, feminist, social critic, and weaver of tales -- are most penetratingly evident. This volume presents Carters considerable legacy of short fiction, gathered from published books, and includes early and previously unpublished stories. From reflections on jazz and Japan, through vigorous refashionings of classic folklore and fairy tales, to stunning snapshots of modern life in all its tawdry glory, we are able to chart the evolution of Carters marvelous, magical vision.

"A treasure chest of literary and aesthetic experience. . . mysterious, glamorous, beautiful." -- Carolyn See, The Washington Post

"Carters ability to probe the secret places in the human psyche, where mysterious erotic longings and unacknowledged links with the unearthly lie buried, verges on the supernatural." -- The Philadelphia Inquirer

"Her imagination was one of the most dazzling of this century." -- Marina Warner

"An amazing plum pudding. . . you should not miss this book." -- Margaret Atwood, Toronto Globe & Mail

Burning Your Boats (Short Stories Collection),本书完整收录安洁拉·卡特创作生涯中的短篇小说。其中包括四册曾独立出版之作品:《烟火》,《染血之室》,《黑色维纳斯》, 《美国鬼魂与旧世界奇观》),另外还收录卡特从未出版单行本之六篇遗珠小说。著名小说家鲁西迪特别作序推荐。

本书四十二篇精彩小说可以看到作者创作上的企图心,题材从童话故事到真人真事皆有,原发表场所从一般流行杂志到学术倾向的伦敦书评,显示卡特不断跨越各种书写,社会分界,像是个游走江湖的说书人,吸引各种社会阶层驻足聆听。

其中《染血之室》,为卡特最著名的代表作,她改写《蓝胡子》、《穿靴猫》、《小红帽》等著名故事,大幅翻转故事的指涉意义。其中《与狼为伴》一篇曾改编成电影。
