{"product_id":"chasm-9781585675845","title":"Chasm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe estate is called Windcote  its very name a masquerade  and its master  the odious Raoul Meridian  has invited a group of guests to spend a weekend  during the course of which they will find themselves driven by obsessions and confusions unlike any they ve experienced before. Among them is Albert  a disowned scion searching for an identity  and his too-beautiful companion Nadine  who is irresistibly drawn to the desert and the inscrutable vortex of Windcote. Living deep within this world of fevers and failures is the indomitable child Destina  who will lead them into the heart of a mysterious canyon  where desire and cruelty forge an implacable truth.Dorothea Tanning  whose surrealist vision has been acclaimed worldwide as one of our era s most bold and acute  brings her formidable imagination and exquisite prose style to bear on a novel of incantatory power. As perceptively inventive as Jeanette Wintersons Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit and as disquieting as Henry Jamess The Turn of the Screw  Chasm is a novel that will linger in the memories of readers long after they turn its last page.It seems hardly fair that Dorothea Tanning  in a long  passionately inventive career as a painter  should have acquired as well the other harmony of prose  and that her passionate inventions as a writer should be so lovingly  so wisely resolved.
