Angela Carter: American Ghosts & Old World Wonders

A collection of short stories which tear through the archives of cinema, of art and of the subconscious. A young Lizzie Borden visits the circus; a pianist makes a Faustian pact in a fly-blown Southern brothel; and a transfigured Mary Magdalene steps out of the canvases of Donatello and de la Tour.

America begins and ends in the cold and solitude. Up here, she pillows her head upon the Arctic snow. Down there she dips her feet in the chilly waters of the South Atlantic, home of the perpetually restless albatross. America, with her torso of a woman at the time of this story, a woman with an hour-glass waist, a waist laced so thightly it snapped in two, and we put a belt of water there. America, with your childbearing hips and your crotch of jungle, your swelling bosom of a nursing mother and your cold head, your cold head.

John Ford's 'Tis Pity She's a Whore
