A review by petersonline
Down Below by Leonora Carrington

4.0

Fascinating, a depiction of depression and madness as a sort of world that one inhabits, "down below" as a source of comfort when things are already so terrible. I can't say I always knew what was going on, but the introduction and postscript were valuable in providing context. I want to read more of Leonora Carrington's work, this was a good one to start with, though it was a particularly odd one because the text provided here was dictated by Carrington but written down by someone else, the original text having been lost. Still, a good introduction to a captivating figure in the surrealist movement.
