The fiery and enigmatic masterpiece—one of the greatest novels
of the Modernist era. One of the first noted lesbian literature
novels, Nightwood was published in 1936. It was one of the first
books to explore explicit themes of homosexuality between women,
and is also known for its intense, gothic, and metaphysical
tone. Nightwood is an undeniably unique endeavor. Perhaps
because of its eccentric storyline, it became one of the most
well-known LGBT novels of the 1900's. It is considered by
scholars and critics today to be an extremely notable novel of
the time, with The Publishing Triangle ranking it #12 on a list
of the top 100 Gay/Lesbian novels of all time.
Characters: 45. Amazon rating: 3 1/2 stars. Genre: Fiction.
