LEONORA CARRINGTON was a key figure in the Surrealist movement and an artist of remarkable individuality. She was born in 1917 to a wealthy English family, later lived in France with fellow Surrealist Max Ernst, and eventually fled Europe, first for New York City and then for Mexico, where she died in 2011. Throughout her long career, Carrington published novels, stories, and plays, in addition to making paintings, sculptures, and tapestries.
KATHRYN DAVIS is the author of seven novels, the most recent of which is Duplex.
