Nightwood
by Djuna Barnes
Buy on AmazonThere is something mysterious and unreachable about this novel, it makes you want to peer behind it somehow. It is rigorous and brave, never allowing the reader to become complacent. It is tragic and erotic and no matter how many times you read it, it eludes your grasp.

"Nightwood is a bold, exceptionally well-written modernist prose poem, and remains the closest thing to James Joyce."
