Reviews
It is a book that opens the imagination. . . . [In The Milk of Dreams] there aretwo narratives: one is written and the other is illustrated, the two converse, onewith the other, and have a strange dialogue to be discovered. This kind of storyis entertaining in a way that is increasingly hard to find.Gabriel Weisz, son of Leonora Carrington
Carrington is best known for her surrealist paintings and sculptures, but heridiosyncratic literary legacy is equally deserving of attention. . . their vivid imagery,irreverence, and surreal transformations are as provocative as they were atthe time of their writing. Tobias Carroll, The Paris Review
These pages have traveled in my hands for more than twenty reverent years. Atlast they arrive. . . . Alejandro Jodorowsky
