Nightwood
Djuna Barnes · 1936
T.S. Eliot wrote the introduction and called it a masterwork of its time. A fever dream of queer love, obsession, and the night people who live outside convention. Nora's love for Robin Vote is the love of someone who can't stop, who understands she is being destroyed and cannot stop. Formally radical, emotionally raw.
