#AngelaCarter on #VirginiaWoolf Just so good. I mean, she always surprises and delights me:
"Borges, talking about Finnegans Wake, said that one day its simplicities would become apparent to everybody and, ‘Like all great novels,’ like The Odyssey, Gulliver’s Travels, Don Quixote, it would be read by children."

Wrote in my #Art Journal about Robert Eggers’ NOSFERATU, and why I’m much more afraid of bicycles than vampires.

"Who has come to sing us carols?" she said.
"Those are the voices of my brothers, darling; I love the company of wolves. Look out of the window, and you'll see them."

From @mariapopova I remember discovering Angela Carter on the original version of this list, an author who is now a treasured favourite of mine.

@rowenamonde. It's very strange. I like it. I haven't read much #AngelaCarter and wonder if it's representative or strange -- even for her!
@rowenamonde. And do you have a favorite #AngelaCarter book? I'm currently reading Love (1971).
Don't you just love it when you're reading a #book and you learn new #words? Today, thanks to #AngelaCarter, I learned the words, "ogive" and "gorse."

UK peeps, Taking Pictures has Neil Jordan's Company of Wolves, adapted from Angela Carter's tales, on late this evening. Lush mixture of awakening sexuality, coming of age, repression, release and horror.
"The worst kind of wolves are hairy on the inside..."
Last RT is in honor of #AngelaCarter’s birthday, which I missed yesterday.
