BOOK
The Hearing Trumpet
By Leonora Carrington
Continuing our celebration of the centennial of surrealism, we will be reading 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘵 by Leonora Carrington next. It will also be interesting to compare it to Breton’s very different voice within surrealism.
A lot of people have already commented how much they love The Hearing Trumpet so it clearly holds a special place for people.
Leonora Carrington’s 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘵 (1974) has been described as the occult twin to Alice in Wonderland and is her most famous novel.
92-year-old Marian Leatherby lives in Mexico with her son Galahad, his wife Muriel, and her grandson Robert. Upon being gifted a hearing trumpet by her friend Carmella, Marian discovers that her family is planning to put her in an institution, which indeed happens. At the institution Marian finds herself drawn into surreal and occult intrigue, conspiracy and adventure.
Zoom meeting date
Saturday 15th February
8pm UK time
