Insel

"She was able to see beyond the innovative possibilities of Surrealism, to the problematic for women of entering the restrictive Surrealist arena, and she confronted it within an experimental text of her own...The polyvalency of her text, her use of quirky vocabulary and polysyllabic words, combined in convoluted or only partially punctuated sentences, and in illogical or paradoxical juxtapostions ( 'asphyxiated sunset', 'skeleton phallus'), the employment of pun and double entendre, all make persistent demands on her readers, and serve to underline both her critique of Surrealism, and her embrace of its possibilities.Loy, Mina is the author of 'Insel' with ISBN 9780876858554 and ISBN 0876858558.
