Nowhere are these qualities more ingeniously brought together than in the works of short fiction she wrote throughout her life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished to coincide with the centennial of her birth, \u003ci\u003eThe Complete Stories of Leonora Carrington\u003c\/i\u003e collects for the first time all of her stories, including several never before seen in print.

She was born to a wealthy English family in 1917, expelled from two convents as a girl, and presented to the king's court in 1933. Four years later, she ran off with Max Ernst and became a darling of the art world in Paris: serving guests hair omelets at one party, arriving naked to another. After Ernst was taken from their home to a Nazi internment camp in 1940, Carrington fled France. Nearly mad with grief and terror, she was thrown into a lunatic asylum in Spain, and, after escaping, married a Mexican diplomat, fleeing Europe for New York City then Mexico City, where she lived for the rest of her life. Throughout her long career, Carrington published novels, stories, and plays, in addition to making paintings, sculptures, and tapestries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eKathryn Davis\u003c\/b\u003e has received the Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize, the Morton Dauwen Zabel Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and a Guggenheim Fellowship.
