The Hearing Trumpet
Carrington, Leonora. Pocket Books, 1977. A novel that 'liberates us from the miserable reality of our days' (Luis Buñuel) and '[undoes] not only our expectations of time and space, but of the psyche and its boundaries' (Blake Butler), here packaged in a scarce edition featuring a cover that expertly captures the book's blend of pathos and whimsy. Also included are appropriately space-confounding interior illustrations by Pablo Weisz-Carrington, the son of the influential feminist surrealist and Hungarian photographer Chiki Weisz.
Tight, square, uncreased spine has some sunning. Former owner name to the first (promotional) leaf, but interior is else clean and unmarked. Some toning to the inside covers, as well as a few small areas of creasing and subtle soiling. Moderate edge-wear. 192 pp. Featured Rare & Collectible.
