Nightwood
Djuna Barnes (Author), T. S. Eliot (Writer of introduction)
Nightwood is the story of Robin Vote, a young American girl in the Paris of the interwar period, whose tragedy it is to destroy those who come close to her--her husband, the bogus baron, Felix Volkbein, their child, and two women who lover her, one generously and the other selfishly. We follow Robin's history through the talk of one of the strangest characters in all fiction, the renegade doctor, Matthew O'Connor, whose brilliant and fantastic monologues probe and illuminate the action like a classic chorus
