The Topless Tower - Paperback

by Silvina Ocampo (Author), James Womack (Translator), Marian Womack (Introduction by)

The Topless Tower is Silvina Ocampo's most imaginative work, one which takes the canon of Western fantasy and turns it on its head. A cross between Alice in Wonderland and the short stories of Jorge Luis Borges, it packs a whole fantastical world into a swift fever-dream narrative.

The efforts of Leandro to escape the dreamlike tower where he has been spirited by the Devil are a key text of the South American surrealist movement.
