Under the Mountain is one of my favorite things in Birmingham and last weekend I was able to see one of my favorite contemporary writers, Ottessa Moshfegh, give a talk on horror and chat with the audience through a q and a session. A fabulous date night with the wife.
Carrington’s art is spectacular, full of alchemical and occult resonance, and she lived an interesting life. Recommended if you like her artwork or want to get a view of the Surrealists that’s not dominated by the loud men who were part of the group.
