Synopsis
Djuna Barnes balked at tradition and revolted against the conventional linear development of plot with this slim volume, which has long been considered her masterpiece. The work is an investigation into fin de si'cle decadence and alienation as experienced by a lesbian, a falsely pedigreed baron, an American expatriate journalist, and a shady doctor who all cross paths in Paris.
