These stories announce themes and images that repeat throughout Kavan’s writing and this new NYRB collection: sleep, dreams, ice, sun (and the lack of sun), prisons, asylums, hospitals, lovers, friends (and the absence of friends), enemies, persecutors, mysterious patrons, strange summonses from abstract authorities, sentencing and judgment, windows, walls, doors. Machines in the Head is arranged chronologically, with the first nine stories coming from Asylum Piece (1940). And while Kavan’s experimental forms shift from story to story, her modes of radical ambiguity, rattling paranoia, and sinister menace course through the collection, giving it a strange coherence. The stories here, culled from five previous collections, show not so much a stylistic evolution over three decades of Kavan’s writing as they do a writer pushing herself into ever stranger territory. Machines in the Head, new from NYRB, compiles twenty-three Anna Kavan stories that were originally published between 19, as well as one previously unpublished story.

I forgot I was reading a children’s book.įreedman intersperses his clear, straightforward, and intensely interesting text with photographs and paintings of Abraham Lincoln and his era. I learned a lot as I read the short 150 pages about the life of Abraham Lincoln, complete with a brief introduction to the political turmoil surrounding him in the 1840s, 1850s, and 1860s.
