«The Passion of New Eve» is Angela Carter's dystopian novel, published by Warner Futura in paperback (192 pages, in English).
In a dystopian America fractured by civil war, Evelyn, a young Englishman, wanders through a New York in chaos until he reaches the desert, where a fertility goddess transforms him into Eve. A dark satire with an allegorical tone, the novel parodies conceptions of gender, identity and power from a postfeminist perspective.
The novel originally appeared in 1977; this paperback edition from Warner Futura was published in December 1987.
Recommended for readers of dystopian and feminist fiction, with interests in magical realism and queer literature.
