This new collection of rare and unpublished writing by the cult 1960s author Ann Quin explores the risks and seductions of going over the edge. The stories cut an alternative path across innovative twentieth-century writing, bridging the world of Virginia Woolf and Anna Kavan with that of Kathy Acker and Chris Kraus.

Ann Quin was a British writer, born in Brighton in 1936. Prior to her death in 1973, she published four novels: Berg (1964), Three (1966), Passages (1969), and Tripticks (1972). During her writing career, she lived between Brighton, London and the United States. She was prominent amongst a group of British experimental writers of the 1960s, which also included BS Johnson and Christine Brooke-Rose.
