ELIZABETH BOWEN (1899-1973)
From the HYPER-IMAGINATIVE LITERATURE Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/492148730623399/
The photograph below is myself with my beloved grandmother in 1952.
My grandmother was born in 1899 as was Elizabeth Bowen — and she turned out in hindsight to look like her, too!
I think I was perhaps destined to love Elizabeth Bowen fiction, although my grandma was not at all ‘literary’! Bowen is the ultimate HYPER-IMAGINIST, I feel, judging by her stories and novels. A vast canon of work that seems to embrace high literature, ghost stories, horror stories, a Robert Aickman feel, deeply textured Romances, exercises in absurdism &c &c
