At a bizarre mansion built by a madman amid the stark beauty of the desert, a group of guests--including Albert, the disinherited scion looking for an identity; his beautiful companion, Nadine; and Destina, an indomitable and inscrutable child--joins their odious host, Raoul Meridian, for a weekend of obsession, confusion, and revelation. A first novel. 10,000 first printing.

"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."
* An astonishing first novel by the famed surrealist painter, about beauty and its mysteries, about simplicity and truth.
