The Hearing Trumpet

An old woman enters into a fantastical world of dreams and nightmares in this surrealist classic admired by Bjrk and Luis Buuel. Leonora Carrington painter playwright and novelist was a surrealist trickster par excellence and The Hearing Trumpet is the witty celebratory key to her anarchic and allusive body of work. The novel begins in the bourgeois comfort of a residential corner of a Mexican city and ends with a manmade apocalypse that promises to usher in the earths rebirth.
