It contains a plethora of monochrome vignette illustrations by Corinna Sargood, an artist and Carter's close friend. The anthology concludes with an afterword by Marina Warner, who writes specialised non-fiction on feminism and myth. A Card for Angela Carter is the fruit of an intriguing project undertaken by Susannah Clapp to create a portrait of the author through postcards, inspired by the postcard exchange she and Carter held. With several monochrome vignette illustrations of postcards Carter sent to Clapp, it is a unique tribute to the author's Rabelaisian mind. The Invention of Angela Carter / A Biography is the first full and authorised biography of the author, written by Edmund Gordon. Well written and drawing on a range of sources, including Carter's manuscripts, letters, journals and interviews, this biography offers exceptional insight into the life of one of the latter twentieth century's most significant writers. Angela Carter is an English author revered for her rich contributions to feminist and post-feminist dystopian literature.
