Saints And Strangers by Angela Carter

"Saints And Strangers" is a collection of short stories that blend the real with the surreal, exploring themes of identity, sexuality, and the human condition. The narratives often reimagine historical and mythological figures, placing them in contemporary or fantastical settings. The stories challenge conventional storytelling and societal norms, presenting a tapestry of characters who are both saints and strangers, navigating the complexities of existence and the boundaries between the sacred and the profane. Through a mix of dark humor, lyrical prose, and provocative scenarios, the book delves into the depths of human experience, revealing the strange and saintly aspects of its characters.
