Peel me a Book
Leonora Carrington
“The task of the right eye is to peer into the telescope, while the left eye peers into the microscope.”
The Hearing Trumpet
The House of Fear
Peel the Author
Leonora Carrington (1917–2011) was a British-born Mexican surrealist painter and writer whose work fuses myth, occult ritual, feminism, and humour into visionary dreamscapes. She escaped wartime Europe, lived among artists and witches, and wrote stories where women shapeshift into animals, nuns levitate, and magic is simply another form of knowledge.
Carrington’s prose is slippery and anarchic — full of beasts, laughter, and rebellion. She builds worlds where the impossible isn’t miraculous; it’s ordinary life, finally freed from reason.
Voice
“The world is not a dream, but it dreams itself.”
Carrington’s sentences tumble like spells — witty, precise, and strange. She writes as though unveiling a cosmic joke whispered by animals. Her voice moves from tenderness to absurdity without pause, turning madness into myth and myth into survival.
