Kassandra and the Wolf

Čítaná

Six-year-old Kassandra is given a doll: ''I put her to sleep in her box, but first I cut off her legs and arms so she''d fit,'' she tells us, ''Later, I cut her head off too, so she wouldn''t be so heavy. Now I love her very much.'' Kassandra is an unforgettable narrator, a perfect, brutal guide to childhood as we''ve never seen it - a journey that passes through the looking glass but finds the darkest corners of the real world. This edition brings Kassandra and the Wolf back into print - a tour de force and, as Karapanou liked to call it, a scary monster of a book.
