A propos de l'auteur
A powerful and disturbing writer, Angela Carter created haunting fiction about travelers surviving their passage through a disintegrating universe. Often based on myth or fairy tale-borrowed or invented for the occasion-her work evokes the most powerful aspects of sexuality and selfhood, of life afficher plus and death, of apocalypse. Carter's most successful novels include The Magic Toyshop (1967), which received the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize and Several Perceptions (1968), winner of the Somerset Maugham Award. The Passion of New Eve (1977), a story of the end of the world and its possible new beginning with failed mankind replaced by a self-generating womankind. She translated many fairy tales and wrote several collections of short stories, including The Bloody Chamber (1979) which won the Cheltenham Festival of Literature Award and was the basis for the powerful movie A Company of Wolves. She worked as a journalist and as a professor at Brown and the University of Texas. She published two nonfiction books of interest: Nothing Sacred, selected writings, and The Sadeian Woman (1979).

Le Théâtre des perceptions par Angela Carter
Peut-on déprimer dans un environnement loufoque triste? oui... et derrière cela on a un portrait de l'Angleterre de l'après guerre.

Rien ne ressemble plus à un frisson de plaisir qu'un frisson d'horreur. Des femmes en proie à d'étranges désirs, des hommes habités par des forces primitives et perverses, des lieux maléfiques qui déchaînent les pulsions les plus incontrôlables, des êtres fantomatiques dont les étreintes sont aussi voluptueuses que monstrueuses... Lorsque les maîtres de la terreur rencontrent les meilleurs auteurs du thriller, les ardeurs de l'amour ressemblent à s'y méprendre aux flammes de l'enfer...… (plus d'informations)
