The Crowding of Dreams: Postwar Time and Experimentalism
View through CrossRef
This chapter considers the importance of dream to Anna Kavan’s postwar writing, and the psychoanalytical and existential inflections in two of her postwar novels, Sleep Has His House (1947) and Who Are You? (1963). Taking Kavan’s thoughts on a postwar cultural impulse to look backwards as a starting point, it considers how the concept of the postwar inflects her experiments with time, and those of her contemporaries. Examining the influence of heroin and surrealism on her representations of the unconscious, it suggests that her earlier representations of ontological uncertainty become a conscious engagement with existential angst.
