The Unmapped Country

This new collection of rare and unpublished writing by the cult 1960s author Ann Quin explores the risks and seductions of going over the edge.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.

‘One of Britain’s most adventurous post-war writers. Psychologically dark and sexually daring, Quin’s relentlessly experimental prose reads like nobody else.’ - Juliet Jacques

‘Quin understood she was on to something new and she took herself seriously, in the right way; she had a serious sense of her literary purpose.’ - Deborah Levy
