  • Product Description

    Dame Edith Sitwell, wit, notorious eccentric, and poet, is not normally thought of as a novelist. But her only novel, I Live Under a Black Sun, is a true forgotten classic. Garlanded with extravagant praise on its release, it is being reprinted here for the first time in almost 50 years. Set during and after the First World War, the novel was inspired by the life of Jonathan Swift. It follows Jonathan Hare, writer and misogynist through his tragic relationships with two women who are likewise based on real people in Swift's life. Luxurious, angular, poetic, and sprinkled with allusions to Swift's most famous works and correspondence, I Live Under a Black Sun is a work that will surely entrance a whole new generation of readers.
