The fiery and enigmatic masterpiece―one of the greatest novels of the Modernist era. Review "A novel of extraordinary and appalling force...a kind of symbol of sinister magnificence." The New York Times "One of the great masterworks of twentieth-century fiction." Vogue "Nightwood is itself. It is its own created world, exotic and strange, and reading it is like drinking wine with a pearl dissolving in the glass. You have taken in more than you know, and it will go on doing its work. From now on a part of your is pearl-lined." Jeanette Winterson "What I would leave the reader prepared to find is the great achievement of of a style, the beauty of phrasing, the brilliant of wit and characterization and a quality of horror and doom very nearly related to that of Elizabethan tragedy." T. S. Eliot "One of the greatest books of the twentieth century." William S. Burroughs "Djuna Barnes is a writer of wild and original gifts. . . .To her name there is always to be attached the splendor of Nightwood, a lasting achievement of her great gifts and eccentricities---her passionate prose and, in this case, a genuineness of human passions." Elizabeth Hardwick "A masterpiece of modernism." The Washington Post Book World "To have been madly and disastrously in love is a kind of glory that can only be made intelligible in a sublime poetry―the revelatory and layered poetry of Djuna Barnes's masterpiece, Nightwood." Dorothy Allison, author of the National Book Award-nominated novel Bastard Out of Carolina Nightwood, Djuna Barnes' strange and sinuous tour de force, "belongs to that small class of books that somehow reflect a time or an epoch" (Times Literary Supplement). That time is the period between the two World Wars, and Barnes' novel unfolds in the decadent shadows of Europe's great cities, Paris, Berlin, and Vienna―a world in which the boundaries of class, religion, and sexuality are bold but surprisingly porous.
