Nightwood

First published in 1936, Nightwood is a modernist masterpiece that delves into the lives of expatriates and outcasts in 1920s Europe. At its heart is the doomed love between Nora Flood and Robin Vote, rendered in lush, poetic language that defies convention. Through desire, despair, and existential longing, Barnes crafts a haunting portrait of queer love in a world that refuses to understand it.
