From CAAF (Tingle Alley): "Carrington’s probably best known as a Surrealist painter. But everyone should have her novel, The Hearing Trumpet, on their shelf to pull down in times of overwhelming duress and dumbassery, it’s just consoling to know it’s out there in the world—you can get a taste of its twiggy greatness here (unfortunately not included is a sampling of the book’s pixillating illustrations, drawn by Carrington’s son, Pablo Weisz-Carrington). It’s one of my all-time favorites. She’s written several other books but right now The Hearing Trumpet’s the only one in print—which is why I’m including her on this list."
