«Nightwood» is Djuna Barnes's modernist novel, published by Faber & Faber in paperback (153 pages, in English).
Set in interwar Paris, Berlin and Vienna, the novel follows Robin Vote and those trapped by her: her husband, the baron; her son Guido; and the women Nora and Jenny. Dr Matthew O'Connor's monologues articulate much of the narrative, with elaborate prose that addresses desire, identity and the decline of a bohemian world.
The novel was originally published in 1936; this 2001 Faber & Faber edition belongs to the Faber Fiction Classics collection.
It is a reference work for readers of modernist fiction, lesbian and queer literature, and the interwar novel.
Djuna Barnes was an American artist, illustrator, journalist, and writer who is perhaps best known for her novel Nightwood (1936), a cult classic of lesbian fiction and an important work of modernist literature.
