Fiction
Dunkler Frühling / Dark Spring
by Unica Zürn
Description
The last work of the surrealist writer
In Dark Spring author Unica Zürn traces the roots of her obsessions: the exotic father she idealized, the „impure“ mother she detested, the masochistic fantasies and onanistic rituals which she said described the „erotic life of a little girl based on my own childhood“. Dark Spring is the story of a young girl’s simultaneous introduction to sexuality and mental illness, revealing a different aspect of the „mad love“ so romanticized by the Surrealists.
