"Nightwood, Djuna Barnes's strange and sinuous tour de force, has become a classic of modernist and lesbian literature since its first publication in 1936. Set in Paris, Berlin, and Vienna during the decadent period between the two World Wars, Nightwood "belongs to that small class of books that somehow reflect a time or an epoch" (TLS)." "It is the story of Robin Vote and those she destroys-her husband the "Baron," their child Guido, and the two women, Nora and Jenny, who love her; the whole is illumined by the fantastic monologues of the renegade doctor Matthew O'Connor. Most striking of all is Barnes's unparalleled stylistic innovation, which led T.S. Eliot to proclaim the book "so good a novel that only sensibilities trained on poetry can wholly appreciate it," and The New York Times Book Review to assert: "Admired by Joyce, Nightwood is as important to the history of the 20th-century novel as Finnegans Wake-and more readable."--Jacket.

"The story of Robin Vote, first married to Felix Volkbein, an eccentric aristocrat, and then the lover of Nora Flood and the larcenous Jenny Petherbridge."
"Een sfeer van fatalisme bepaalt het leven van enkele Amerikaanse en Europese ontwortelden in Parijs in de jaren twintig."
"Beschrijving van het leven van een aantal Amerikaanse déracinés, ontwortelden in de jaren twintig in Parijs."
"Réimpression 1937. Selon le préfacier, T. S. Eliot, ##Le bois de la nuit## est "une oeuvre d'imagination créatrice, non un traité de philosophie". Une des plus curieuses et des plus poétiques visions de Paris qu'on puisse lire. Public restreint. Traduction parfaite."
"Barnes' famous experimental novel tells of a young woman, Robin Vote, in 1920s Paris, who first marries the "Baron" Felix Volkbien, and later has love affairs with two women."
