What an outstanding piece by Rachel Ricard Straus and Ruth MacLean! Carrington has always been my very favorite Surrealist, and now I have enjoyed learning about her long, fascinating life. I look forward to reading The Hearing Trumpet and hope it holds my attention like this wonderful article has!

The Hearing Trumpet is not Carrington's only novel. The Stone Door, written in the mid forties and published in th UK in 1978 (London: Routledge & Kegan Paul), is another incredible narrative and one of my all time favourite novels. London Virago Press also published two books of her short stories in 1989, The House of Fear: Notes from Down Below and The Seventh Horse and Other Tales. These are all now out of print. Carrington is an amazing talent that has been too long out of sight. I would like to see a major retrospective of her work in London and all her written work back in print.
