A Virago title

New York has become the City of the Dreadful Night where dissolute Leilah performs a dance of chaos for Evelyn. But this young Englishman's fate lies in the arid desert where a many-breasted fertility godess will wield her scapel to transform him into the new Eve. 'The Passion of Eve' is an extraordinary journey into the apocalyptic vision of one of the Britain's most brilliant writers. 'if you can imagine Baudelaire, Blake and Kafak getting together to describe America, you are well on your way to Carter's visionary and lurid World -'The Times'.
