Burning Your Boats: The Collected Short Stories Angela Carter
Publisher: Penguin (Non-Classics)

Swelling bosom of a nursing mother and your cold head, your cold head. After reading one short story – The Lady of the House Of Love, an excellent gothic piece – I bought the book, went home and immersed myself under a blanket whilst I went further into Carter's world of magical realism and picaresque fantasy. American Ghosts and Old World Wonders, Angela Carter's last short story collection published posthumously after her death from lung cancer in 1992, is a collection of two halves.

One way to light your fire, and challenge your most brilliant self, is to “Burn Your Boats” ~. I've just finished a new collection of short stories by Angela Carter. AGGRESSIVE and pleasingly unsubtle of her books, and Love is cruel, beautiful thing, but my recommendation would be Burning Your Boats, which collects all of her short stories and much of her best writing in one book. I still remember walking around my favourite Dublin bookshop and finding a little alcove under A-C and there I found Burning Your Boats, a collection of short fiction by Carter. Highly recommended and if you buy Burning Your Boats, you will get this collection as well as all the other ones that I have discussed. She's definitely one of the greatest female writers of the twentieth century for a reason. The short post which follows, originally appeared on my Say “Alaka'i” column for the Honolulu Advertiser in October of 2009. I knew of her, primarily of Burning Your Boats. This story is available in the collection Black Venus aka Saints and Strangers, and also in Burning Your Boats, a beautiful little volume containing all of her remarkable short fiction.
