Djuna Barnes' extraordinary novel, Nightwood, documents the lives of Americans and Europeans in Paris throughout the decadent roaring twenties.

Nightwood is not only a classic of modernist literature, but was also acknowledged by T.S. Eliot as one of the great novels of the 20th century. Eliot admired Djuna Barnes' rich, evocative language. Barnes told a friend that Nightwood was written with her own blood 'while it was still running.' That flowing wound was the breakup of an eight year relationship with the love of her life.



Now recognised as a twentieth-century classic, the influence of Djuna Barnes's novel has been, and continues to be, exceptional.
Industry Reviews
Djuna Barnes is a writer of wild and original gifts. . . .To her name there is always to be attached the splendor of Nightwood, a lasting achievement of her great gifts and eccentricities---her passionate prose and, in this case, a genuineness of human passions.--Elizabeth Hardwick
