Book of the Month: "The Forest of Night" by Djuna Barnes
“The Forest of Night is Djuna Barnes's masterpiece and one of the great novels of contemporary literature. Paris, 1927. In an environment that fluctuates between aristocracy, bohemia and the world of the circus, the essential enigma of the human condition is embodied in the figure of the young Robin Vote, fascinated by the attraction of the abyss, and in the three people vying for his love: the false Viennese Jewish baron Felix Volkbein, the loyal Nora Flood and the avid Jenny Pehterbridge.”
Taken from The book house.
