That Honeybuzzard, the title character of Angela Carter’s first novel, imagines himself partaking of Lewis Carroll’s Queen of Hearts’ favorite pastime, is surely no accident. Honeybuzzard is a wild ride through a grotesque wonderland where the sordid and mundane glow with a menacing otherworldliness...
Not her best, but it definitely deserves some credit. Angela Carter's brings to life characters that are both monstrous and woeful, you can't help but recoil with distaste at the unfolding story.It's a quick flowing read that is worth picking up for Carter's brilliant writing style.
