"[A] frost flower on a moonlit window, the delicate spell of a British recluse, extreme yin. Often compared to Kafka and De Quincey, Kavan wrote some 11 books....[T]his 1947 novel is my favorite....Its form is the nocturne--obsessive, submerged, a continuous whisper from the unconscious--and like all her work, it is an assertion of the icy triumph of Thanatos over Eros."
Janet Fitch, Salon, 12/20/1999

Sleep Has His House (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780720611298) Kavan, Anna Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: PETER OWEN LTD, United Kingdom, 2002. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 186 x 138 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. A classic later novel by Anna Kavan. A largely autobiographical account of an unhappy childhood, this daring synthesis of memoir and surrealist experimentation chronicles the subject's gradual withdrawal from the daylight world of received reality. Brief flashes of daily experience from childhood, adolescence, and youth are described in what is defined as "nighttime language"--a heightened, decorative prose that frees these events from their gloomy associations.The novel suggests we have all spoken this dialect in childhood and in our dreams, but these thoughts can only be sharpened or decoded by contemplation in the dark. Revealing that side of life which is never seen by the waking eye but which dreams and drugs can suddenly emphasize, this startling discovery illustrates how these nighttime illuminations reveal the narrator's joy for the living world.
