Venus Negra
A Literature, Horror, Fantasy book. What would the daughters of the rich do with themselves...
Gente extraordinaria y variada habita esta coleccion de cuentos. Algunos son gente real: Jeanne Duval, la musa desganada de Baudelaire que nunca pidio que la llamaran la Venus Negra, atrapada en el hastio terminal de la pasion del poeta... Edgar Allan Poe, con cara de actor tragico, que demuestra en todo lo que hace y piensa cuanta razon tienen sus amigos cuando dicen que "El hombre que bebe antes del desayuno no tiene remedio..". Y Lizzie Borden, tendida en cama en una calida noche de verano sonando con un parricidio... Otros personajes son completamente imaginarios, como la prostituta del siglo diecisiete que a pesar de si misma se transforma entre los indios en una buena mujer, o la nina, criada por lobos, indiferente y extrana, que no tolera la compania de los seres humanos. El "prodigioso nino de las sartenes" es un infante cocinero que aprende frances en libros de cocina, y en la obertura y musica incidental para El Sueno de una Noche de Verano examina la ambigua naturaleza del principe que ha provocado tantos problemas entre Oberon y Titania.

More About Venus Negra
There Peter sat in the new sunlight, plaiting the straw for baskets, until he saw the thing he had been taught most to fear advancing silently along the lea of an outcrop of rock. Angela Carter, Saints and Strangers // Sad; so sad, those smoky-rose, smoky-mauve evenings of late autumn, sad enough to pierce the heart. The sun departs the sky in winding sheets of gaudy cloud; anguish enters the city, a sense of the bitterest regret, a nostalgia for things we never knew, anguish of the turn of the year, the time of impotent yearning, the inconsolable season. Angela Carter, Saints and Strangers // What would the daughters of the rich do with themselves if the poor ceased to exist? Angela Carter, Saints and Strangers //
HA! I have not actually read this book, but one particularly angst-filled mid-90's summer of my adolescence I found myself next to a bonfire after, I believe, a particularly angst-filled mid-90's community production of "Little Shop of Horrors." Some girl or something was around the party somewhere, and I could only assume at the time... More when I have time, but for now, I loved this book. I see much more Angela Carter in my near future. While all of the stories are very good, her "Black Venus" just blew me away, along with "The Cabinet of Edgar Allan Poe," and "The Fall River Axe Murders." I can never say enough good things about Angela Carter (who died in 1994 from cancer), her writing is surreal, superb and ALWAYS makes you think. Her short stories almost always take a fairy or folk tale and look at it from a fully new lens. She twists them and makes us look at the pulsating parts, the gooey stuff. All if it is good...
