Description
The first critical study of Anna Kavan's experimental fiction
It is fantastic to see the first monograph on Anna Kavan, and to see how it so convincingly argues for her significance. Walker’s reading of Kavan as part of and alongside more familiar elements of mid-century literary culture has the paradoxical and very welcome effect of allowing us to see more fully the disturbing power of her work.
Victoria researches twentieth-century British women’s prose fiction, especially experimental writing. She has published widely on Anna Kavan and edited a special issue of Women: A Cultural Review – ‘Anna Kavan: New Readings’ (Winter 2017-18) and a collection of Kavan’s short writing, Machines in the Head (2019).
