Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Djuna Chappell Barnes (1892-1982) Avant-garde American writer, illustrator, playwright, a well-known figure in the literary scenes of Paris and London before World War II. Barnes's experimental work is characterized by malevolent characters, dark humor, and decadent flavor. Her most famous novel, Nightwood T.S. Eliot 's recommendations. "Barnes knew most intimately many lesbians, such as the subjects of her in-joke satire, Ladies Almanack , including Natalie Barney, Janet Flanner, and Dolly Wilde, who had absolutely no relationship to the women she described in Nightwood ... Barnes also knew enough to agree with Natalie Barney that Proust 's treatment of flighty lesbians who follow gay male patterns of cruising and sexual contacts in R emembrance of Things Past was "improbable." Yet Barnes's treatment in her own novel was not much different. It attests to the power of literary images over lesbian writers that, even after criticizing Proust's lies, Barnes called on her knowledge of lesbians in literature rather than in life in order to write her own novel." (Lillian Faderman in Surpassing the Love of Men Djuna Barnes was born in Cornwall-on-Hudson. Her wealthy and free-spirited father, Henry Budington ("Wald") Barnes, was an unsuccessful painter, who ran a farm on Long Island. Elizabeth (Chappel) Barnes, Djuna's mother, was an English violinist. Djuna was raised by her mother and her suffragist grandmother. She and the four other children of the family were taught outside the school system. Her father influenced deeply her development as an artist. According to Andrew Field's biography, she could have suffered some psychosexual abuse at home. In her works, Barnes's vision of love contains an element of incest. On the other hand, this atmosphere of understated perversity was typical for

Miranda Seymour, New York Times Book Review 11-26-95 "Nightwood . . . is one of the top ten novels written this century and is undoubtedly . . . one of the greatest gay novels ever written. It is a magnificent, passionate, lyrical work which probes deep beneath the surface skin of life where so many novels are content to stay. . . . The editor, Cheryl J.

Extractions: Guest Reviewer Peter Klappert (Though not poetry, this collection brings together the work of an artist whose writing has influenced, and continues to influence, many poets and writers.) If one short novel is enough to establish a writer as "major," and it is, then Djuna Barnes (1892-1982) achieved that distinction in 1936, when Nightwood was published in London. The first edition carried an introduction by T.S. Eliot which has accompanied subsequent printings and in which he praises "the great achievement of a style, the beauty of phrasing, the brilliance of wit and characterization, and a quality of horror and doom very nearly related to that of Elizabethan tragedy." Later, with enthusiasm that just manages to outshine an absurd, lamentable hyperbole, the language-addicted poet Dylan Thomas called Nightwood "One of the three great prose books ever written by a woman." [ Click to Order Barnes Collected Stories (soft $) ] In addition to its many incidental pleasures, three things make Nightwood powerful and compelling: the dark brifliance of the writing, which is by turns aphoristic, satirical, witty, passionate, musical, melancholy, sonorous, biblical and funereal; the love story of Robin Vote and Nora Flood, two American women on the Left Bank in the incredible Paris of the 1920s; and Dr. Matthew Mighty-grain-o-sand Dante O'Connor, the novel's Tiresian commentator, confessor, and chorus. It is now widely known that Robin was modeled on the great love of Barnes' life, Thelma Wod, Nora on Barnes herself, and Dr. O'Connor on the Irish-American, quack doctor, sometime abortionist, flamboyantly campy homosexual and cafe raconteur, Daniel Mahoney.

Thus begins this Almanack, which all Ladies should carry about with them, as the Priest his Breviary, as the Cook his Recipes, as the Doctor his Physic, as the Bride her Fears, and as the Lion his Roar!" Barnes's affectionate lampoon of the expatriate lesbian community in Paris was privately printed in 1928. Arranged by month, it records the life and loves of Dame Evangeline Musset (modeled after salon hostess Natalie Barney) in a robust style taken from Shakespeare and Robert Burton's "Anatomy of Melancholy," and is illustrated throughout with Barnes's own drawings. This new edition is a facsimile of the 1928 edition with the addition of an afterword providing details on the book's origins and a key to its real-life models.

Extractions: Nightwood Genre Novel (170 pp.) Keywords Family Relationships Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual Issues Grief Love ... Suffering Summary This strange little tale, set in western Europe, revolves around the shifting relationships among an American doctor, a would-be Austrian baron, a circus performer, and the American woman, Robin, who is to become the nemesis of them all. The plot is unfolded in a long series of conversations, many convoluted by their stream-of-consciousness style, rather than in observed action. The physician (it is never clearly stated that he is a fully trained physician but the point is probably moot, since he assumes the role), the most consistently present and verbal character, is a study in contradictions. He is essentially never portrayed in a classic physician role, but much is made of his profession. This may be explained by the fact that it is his profession that justifies his central positionhe knows and is in the confidence of all other characters. The reader follows, by means of the long and complex dialogues, Robin's systematic destruction of a chain of male and female lovers in what appears to be an obsessive desire for self-destruction.
