Description for Dark Spring: By Unica Zürn (Exact Change)
Paperback. Translator(s): Rupprecht, Caroline. Num Pages: 115 pages. BIC Classification: FA. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 156 x 203 x 8. Weight in Grams: 194.
An autobiographical novel that reads more like an exorcism than a novel. In terse and lucid prose, Zurn traces the roots to her obsessions: the exotic father whom she idolized, the impure mother she detested, the masochistic fantasies and onanistic rituals which she said described 'the erotic life of a little girl based on my own childhood.' Dark Spring is the story of a girls's simultaneous initiation to sexuality and madness, revealing a dark side of the 'mad love' so championed and romanticized by the (predominantly male) Surrealists.
