Leonora Carrington turns the Surrealist male-gaze on its head in this wonderful Alice in Wonderland-esque personal essay.
I read this for my dissertation but I think it's also an incredible text that casual readers would enjoy.

“I am in terrible anguish, yet I cannot continue living alone with such a memory... I know that once I have written it down, I shall be delivered.”

A book that makes you feel as if you are floating, exempt from sanity, in a state equally constructed from peace and paranoia.
