Down Below by Leonora CarringtonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
****Spoilers ahead. Definitely****
Wow. That was disturbing. I confess I started reading it without knowing anything about the book (and practically nothing about the author). I thought it was pure fiction until about halfway through, when I read the back cover. Then it was pretty intense. And damn, Max Ernst is a d-bag. Also the tone is interesting. Not a drop of self-pity or anything along those lines. If you happen across this book I would recommend picking it up. If you have an interest in surrealist painters, or in how World War II might affect someone's psyche, then look for it.
