Books like The Passion of New Eve by Angela Carter


The Passion of New Eve, first published in 1977, follows a dark and biting satire set in a frozen‑frozen United States where civil war erupts between conflicting political, racial and gendered factions. Carter uses this setting to parody primitive notions of gender, sexual difference and identity from a post‑feminist perspective. The narrative also interrogates sadomasochism and the politics of power, weaving together social commentary and speculative fiction within the broader framework of 20th‑century British women's literature.
First publish date: 1977
Genre: General Fiction/General Fiction
Authors: Angela Carter
