Description
Ann Quin's prose never falters; it's stunning. This new collection of rare and unpublished writing by the cult 1960s author explores the risks and seductions of going over the edge. The stories cut an alternative path across innovative twentieth-century writing, bridging the world of Virginia Woolf and Anna Kavan with that of Kathy Acker and Chris Kraus. Ann Quin was a British writer who lived between Brighton, London, and the US before her death in 1973. She published four novels: Berg (1964), Three (1966), Passages (1969), and Tripticks (1972). This collection brings together some of her most innovative and experimental work. The Unmapped Country is a unique addition to Quin's oeuvre, offering a glimpse into the author's bold and unflinching vision.
