The Unmapped Country: Stories and Fragments - Paperback

by Ann Quin (Author), Jennifer Hodgson (Editor)

This new collection of rare and unpublished writing by the cult 1960s author Ann Quin explores the risks and seductions of going over the edge.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.
